Mailmonitor will work on BSD.  I have it running you have to build a symbolic link to the libsavi.so.3 library in /compat/linux/lib/ . Like this

ln -s  /usr/local/sav/lib/libsavi.so.3   /compat/linux/lib/libsavi.so.2  . Keep in mind that this is in linux compat mode 
so once it starts up all your  mmsmtp stuff will be located in 
/compat/linux/var/spool/mmsmtp  

I know Sophos states it won't work but thats just who your talking too, If you had got me on the phone I would have had you up and running.


Oh by the way if you still have the same problem after applying the symbolic link try running the un-installer that comes with mmsmtp . then run the install script to re-install. Delete the symbolic link and then linnk the library which comes with the sav-install script.  in my case I have my latest sav-install script located in /tmp  . I link the  larger of the two libraries and it works fine.  

ssigc# ls -la | grep lib
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   957904 Jul  7  2003 libsavi.so.3.2.05.035
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  1384632 Feb  9 05:04 libsavi.so.3.2.07.054  <---- Link this one as libsavi.so.2 
ssigc# pwd
/tmp/sav-install
ssigc#
