MOst of the "Linux" solution should also work on Solaris
(provided you can get source). But if your users are all
using Solaris, there's no need for AV software.

I'd recommend ClamAV, but that's just personal choice. The OP should
go to freshmeat.net and search for "anti-virus", as there are several
choices in several price ranges.

He's probably handling incoming mail heading for Winboxen. In any
case, the OP should look into mailscanner and spamassassin, if he
hasn't already done so.

No, the wrapper programs like AMaViS and MailScanner do, but not the
virus scanners. Most are for Linux only. But some of them will work on
Solaris, you can find a list here

http://www.openantivirus.org/av-unix_e.txt
http://www.amavis.org/amavis.html#scanners

The downside is that most of them charge per seat, but you could also
use the server version of their product and pay only for one (server)
seat.

As has been said, clam-av works nice on solaris, but its not really
suited for production use, as its virus db is not as complete or
updated as fast as those of commercial vendors.
