hi Rob, A quick, unofficial answer is: no, the new mail.msu.edu system doesn't have AV or spam filters. I think they are planned as future enhancements. Supposedly, someone from the mail implementation team will attend NCC later this summer to discuss. (the new system has about 30,000 users currently. There were some hardware problems and maybe some concerns that it should be solidly supporting 70,000 users Fall semester before adding new features) -jav PS - personally I still believe the central mail system should do AV scanning and spam filtering, at the user's request.
