are there good options for anti virus. for linux mail servers and file serves.

I've been using F-Prot for Linux for over two years now with Sendmail and Amavis-Perl, and it works pretty well. No problems since I started using it. YMMV. It's free for personal use, but business use costs $500 US per year. I've also implemented McAfee on Linux, but that costs way more than F-Prot.

CLamAV is an open source alternative, but is probably not mature enough for commercial use (IMHO, antivirus is one area where FOSS has a long way to go before catching up to commercial offerings - maybe because so few FOSS users care about Windows?).

Clamav is as good as others in catching virus. Problem is that it only detects, does not clean. Also, it is supposed to be good with new virus. But never used in production environment. Only on test server.

Clamav also has a paid product which has cleaning ability.
