I feel like ClamAV would be the cheapest and easiest solution for 
handling png and jpgs, But like Sebastian said it does depend on use 
case. There are multiple av scanners/solutions but many are paid 
services, I've been using clam av for my email setup and it feel like 
it's been sufficient. You would need to enable png/jpeg extensions for 
ClamAV if that would be your plan and some sort of sandboxed environment 
for clamav/imagemagick iirc.


P.S I've just subscribed to this list, so please excuse me if i repeated 
any information as I can't see this whole email thread.
