Yep. bosses (in my case) are asking for virus scanning at the server
in addition to spam prevention. The architecure I use at work is
similar to the one I use at home except that I don't do any virus
scanning at home because I don't have any windows boxes ;)

Work
Qmail+qmail-scanner-queue, pop-before-smtp, clamav with daily updating
of virus db, spamassassin 2.5.1 (has the Bayes filtering on), procmail
as MDA

Home
Postfix+spamassassin, smtp-auth, procmail as MDA
