Well, I've already read all the documentation, FAQ, etc. I could find on
Antivir's website (unfortunately, some of it has not been translated
from German - which I'd love to learn... when I find some free time!).
I've also searched on GoogleGroups for any clue...

Would it not be possible to have a little script where each message
being filtered would be temporarily piped to a file, which could then be
scanned by Antivir? I guess it would not be very efficient, but could be
worth a try...

Thanks anyway!
