SpamAssasin is a nice little e-mail filter for mail servers. All written in
Perl as well. You should be able to cut out most unwanted mails by this. I
have a feeling that they'd have some type of recommendation as well for
virus scanners, if that is specifically what you are looking for, as opposed
to a mail filter engine.. ;)

Nice idea, and it would work, but I don't see it as being very practicle for
most applications. The problem arises from rejecting email from potential
customers, requested information, mailing lists, etc.
If this was intended as a joke, my apologies, my humor engine has not yet
recieved sufficient caffine to operate properly ;-)
