I run Clam on MD acting as a relay to an Exchange server running McAfee.
Before I upgraded to a version of Clam that would catch phishing e-mails,
the McAfee would regularly catch them.  There is still an occasional one
that McAfee catches that slipped past Clam.  I have no clue if the Unix
version catches them.
