Ok, this is fine... and about 1) ? No plans :-) ?

Yes, I posted those requests here because I found clamav-milter in the base 
tarball, so I think it was the right place to ask...

IMHO I think that the right milter for clamav should :

1) be written in C (I like perl but C is faster with less overhead)
2) have the possibility to refuse basing on attach name (i.e. it can increase 
the security in the first phase of a new virus spreading ...  ) 
3) should use custom layout of message (i.e. I am italian and I prefer that my 
users get replies in Italian otherwhise 95% of them doesn't understand  :-)
4) compiles on FreeBSD (we use it :-)

Clamav-milter is in the base system and fails on 2 and 3 on 0.65.

(P.s. please developers fix the latest clamav-milter.c snapshots for the 
problem of  "setpgrp()", that in BSD need a couple of args,  otherwise it is 
not true anymore it compiles out of the box on FreeBSD 4.x :-)

I see there is also smtp-vilter but I have to play with the makefile a little 
bit more to compile cleanly on FreeBSD.

Thanks everyone for attention.
