Nimda is designed to attack Windows machines by exploiting security holes in
Windows. Any infected mail sent to your mail server will be received, but as
it is Linux-based, you do not have much to worry about with Nimda on the
server. Of course, your mail users may be at risk from this or any other
virus -- it does not make any difference what Operating System the server is
running if the workstation is running an OS that can be attacked.
There are a number of Linux virus scanners available. You can search on
Google for them. One you may wish to investigate is at www.amavis.org.
Linux is not inherently virus-proof -- there are many Linux worms and
viruses known, despite the claims of Linux promoters.
