[MailScanner] now includes support for [SpamAssassin]. This is "a virus scanner for e-mail designed for use on e-mail gateways. It can also detect a large proportion of unsolicited commercial e-mail (spam) passing through it."  [MailScanner] does an excellent job with file names and types, and can be set to quarantine encrypted .ZIP files and apply normal filename rules and virus scanning inside unencrypted ones.

MIMEDefang, a sendmail milter written by Roaring Penguin Software, filters all e-mail messages sent via SMTP through a sendmail installation, blocking common mail virii, and now -- with the help of [SpamAssassin] -- spam. "You can use [SpamAssassin] to test for spam, and then all of the MIMEDefang goodies to reject, manipulate or otherwise mangle the message." Integrate Integrated with the MTA to the level of returning 5xx error codes during the SMTP session, so virii or detected spam can be rejected at the delivery, which notifies the sender, that the mail was rejected, without generating an additional email message.\[http://www.roaringpenguin.com/mimedefang/\]

You can discover its presence in your distro's exim binary directly with the command {{exim -bV}} or {{exim4 -bV}}; look for the phrase {{Contains exiscan-acl patch}}.
