I've not found any particular advantage. I use J-Chkmail as a Sendmail milter for spam and it invokes clamd for attachments. I've never found a reason to change it. This very simple combination has provided me with a very good way to provide a clustered MTA environment with load sharing, fail-over, urlbl, grey-listing daemon, anti-spam, Bayes, regex, behavior, malware scanning via clamd, rrd-tool reporting, and aside from the rrd-tool has the bonus of not using or needing Perl. The only other milter feature that interests me is that found in milter-ahead. dp _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
