I can only agree with Marco.  Sourceware is running an agressive spam
assassin and what not which gets constantly upgraded and fed with known
spam regulary to hone the filters.  However, there's *no* way it will
always catch all spam or virus or worm.  If so, it would probably also
catch lots of legit mails.
