Also, f-prot has a free version for FreeBSD (personal use). I love it.

Well, I use qmail-scanner on one of my setups, along with f-prot. 
qmail-scanner also plugs in spamassassin at the same time, so it takes care 
of both. F-prot has a wonderful script which I run as a cron job, and every 
night it downloads and sets up the new virus databases.. requires no 
maintenance on my part.

Personally, I don't run spamassassin, as I block spam at the SMTP level 
through qmail rblsmtp blacklists that I built, and other layered measures 
at the .qmail file level..
