Of course there are always disadvantages to sending users all their emails <very big grin>.

Nah <smile>! An exe really can't infect a Linux box <smile, again>. S/He could have infected his/her own system, though, probably almost as bad.

Is it viable for the Qube2 to run such a module?  Or should we look at
protecting each workstation?

IMHO, you should always protect each workstation; there are other ways to get a virus besides email that comes from your Qube (like from Hotmail, perhaps <frown>).
