OpenAntiVirus looks promising for this and works pretty well at
detecting the more common virii, but one reason I prefer Sophos over
this on the main mail server is the frequency of updates.

Sophos releases new signatures almost every day (a few hundred a month
on average) while OAV's latest update is still dated July 1st
(http://www.openantivirus.org/latest.php). The worst thing about Sophos
is their ridiculous license, though that might be 'fixed' soon.
