These results are appalling. They basically suggests that clamAV is effectively useless and Antivir is worse than Norton (which is really going some). The significant number of mail related viruses will probably be blocked by any spam filtering (which in itself is not intended for the purpose) but this does not reduce the risks here. The much hard work done by many to get these thing to work well is somewhat undermined if they are not fit for purpose as this is suggesting. Anything under %99.9 in an AV filter is basically unacceptable
Simply kill all mail containing any type of windows executables and you are safe: no need for an AV. The only problem is if you do need to email code. Amavis has a filter for this. The doubt then would be macro type virus. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
