Holy moley, you're letting users upload files into emails on your
website then sending them using mail() !!!!

....and you wonder why you've got problems?

Really, the question you're asking has nothing at all to do with PHP -
unless you want to use PHP to launch clamscan on uploaded files before
attaching them to emails (but bear in mind that anyone out to be
malicious could always incorporate uuencded data inline).

Clam + postfix worked a trick for me using clamsmtp. Its been a while
since I looked at amavis - but even then it wasn't as bad as a lot of
commercial AV tools.

I'd try asking on a more apposite (i.e. amavis or postfix) newsgroup.
