| Definitely clamav. You can check out a quick'n dirty doc I've made when I

I can definately suggest clamav !!!
I was able to setup sendmail to use it in less than 5 minutes....  Once I
reallized what it actually was.
I was originally only going to use the scaner part of clamav when I saw the
filter benifit.  It was extreemly easy to setup.  Only had to change a few
things from the default in the documentation.   The directories
changed......

You can go here and follow the simple instructions for Fedora for
downloading and installing and updating via yum.....
http://www.clamav.net/binary.html#pagestart

Then start the `clamd' service and `clamav-milter' service...  and setup
everything.
Be sure to start a cron job for `freshclam' ...  or start it as a demon....
Also, be sure to `chkconfig --level 345' for the above services as well...

Be sure to look at the documentation also; but, be aware that the
documentation is not completely correct.  An example:  the documentation
lists that the filter socket connection is /var/run/clmilter.sock....  this
is slightly wrong.  The script that runs the service puts the socket as
/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock....
