Sorry, replied to this personally so I'll try to duplicate that reply
here.
I've no control over what my end users do, I'm responsible for the
network but they're resposnsible for their own machines. So I'm really
looking for something that can look at traffic coming in over port 110
and block any viruses, but allow anything else to continue on to the end
users machine.
I'm not even sure if such a thing exists, istr hearing something about
squid proxying pop3 mail but a cursorary google doesnt show anything
that fits my needs exactly.
Cheers
