I really wish you would stop saying this.  It is simply not true.  Your 
procmail does NOT check for viruses in any way tat I can see.  It 
checks for executable file types and that is NOT the same thing.

I don't have anything against your recipes.  In fact, I think they are 
quite well-done; but calling them "anti-virus" is simply misleading as 
they don't distinguish between a zip file containing a copy of 
notepad.exe and a zip file containing virusload.exe.
