[plug] Preferred mail scanning system?

[Andrew Barbara]

Has anyone used MailScanner? 
www.mailscanner.info 
 
It is not a SMTP Proxy and it will use any AV software and will also
check the RDBs.  I have 
SpamAssassin hooked into mine and it works a treat!!

Well; commercial plugin is probbaly closer to the mark. 
 
 
As I understand it, amavis can use a variety of content scanners.

So could I! :-) 
 
 
Frankly; I'd rather not have a daemon left in a state by a previous 
 
message.
