If you're running a Linux mailserver (Postfix, Exim, Sendmail, etc.) that serves Windows clients you definitely need to run an a/v program on the server.
Microsoft has been busy buying up a/v companies like RAV AntiVirus, sybari, and others. RAV was a popular Linux app, and Microsoft killed it dead. Another lesson in why the GPL matters.

It's also been mentioned that, much as we may hate MS, the Ms users are not the point of our hatred (well maybe just a little). It does not make us good neighbors to pass along the joy.

So in short I don't need to forward things to a Windows machine. Hence I don't have that problem. Sending it to someone else is a different problem, which I really don't think is mine.
