Anti Virus for mail server

[Jim Flowers]

I just installed clamav 0.60 --with-milter (clamav-milter) on a clean 
FreeBSD.4.8-STABLE from the ports collection (clamav-devel) with no problems 
and so far (24 hours) it seems to be reliable with very-low volume testing 
usage.  Freshclam ran easily and updated the virus files right away.

Now I'll add spamassassin using the most recent version that discards 
messages over a certain score and combined with sendmails native anti-spam 
tweaks and dnsbls (spamcop and others) that should do it.

ClamAV is looking real good compared to everything else I have tested.  
Hopefully, more people will try it, like it, and it will gain the critical 
mass necessary to become even more stable, have a loyal following (mail 
list) and be continually supported by the GPL community.
