I'm using MailScanner in conjuntion with SpamAssassin and F-Secure
antivirus software.  It's worked pretty much like a charm.  There've
only been about a dozen or so accidental captures out of tens of
thousands of true captures.  

The biggest thing I have found is the prevention of MailScanner sending
out "Your original message contained a virus" message to my mailing
lists.  It was causing people to freak out when they did.

The reason I used the MailScanner to wrap around SpamAssassin and
F-Secure was mostly because I couldn't get sympa to reject messages
with virus'.  I didn't delve into it deeply; I turned to MailScanner
and that fixed it.
