Hi
I don't think that removing now and any future joining from that
person would mean that we'll not get more viruses, I think that the best
idea is to have a virus scanner on the server which processes mail.
I use both Linux and Windows and I've no problems with viruses,
I've and up-to-date antivirus in my machine and a virusscanner running on
every message I receive on my mail server... As a result all that viruses
that I received where deleted directly at the server-level having my box
antivirus idle ;)
So, have a look at "http://mailscanner.info" and to f-prot's
non-profit license
