It rocks. You have to be using Sendmail to do this, of course, because Mimedefang's milter, and nothing else supports Milter yet, afaik. Only issue is per-user prefs for SA won't work without some options in Mimedefang that increase load quite a bit if you get messages that go to multiple recipients (stream_by_user, iirc, which makes it process the message again for each user, instead of processing it one time for all users). Also, if you can, use one of the efficient virus scanners, like sophie -- I'm still using uvscan for most places, which launces the virus scanner each time a message comes in, instead of just making a TCP connection to a box with the virus scanner.. -- Nate Carlson <natecars at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500
