[SLUG] Stopping W32.Welchia with Linux?

We're getting a silly number of copies of the W32.Welchia worm, and I know there
are malware-finders that could work with postfix. What do you recommend for
preventing worm-generated email from making it to the inboxes?

I've looked on freshmeat and found that the most popular solutions depend on an
open antivirus signature project that seems to have released its most recent
update in 2002.

I'd be willing to buy a subscription from a vendor if the product works well.
Something like Norton Antivirus added onto MessageWall would be ideal.

Is anyone using MessageWall with the Clam AV database and automating updates?
I'd rather not write my own script for that...
