How does "antivirus mail filtering" differ significantly from spam
filtering?  Seems to me these two should be one and the same as "spam"
is a form of malicious code.

Teach a spam filter what the virus looks like and kill two birds with
the same stone.

All that seems to be lacking is easy updates to the spam/virus/worm rule
database.
