[plug] Anti-Virus

[Luke Dudney]

I can vouch for the quality of sophos SAV too. We're running it in 
conjunction with amavisd-new and sophie on a postfix mail gateway which 
scans about 200k messages per day from memory. Runs beautifully.

Amavis was a bit of a pain to set up but sophie (open source scanning 
interface to SAV) is very slick. I tried out Sophos's mail monitor 
product but it seemed to have severe performance limitations at the 
time, which they did not seem in any hurry to resolve. That was about 18 
months ago though so there may have been improvements in that time.

If you run a cron job you can download the latest IDe's (signature files) as often as you like.  If you want to trial the product let me know.
