Postfix + amavisd (which calls ClamvAV and uses SpamAssassin, as you note) is a fine combination; I use it or add policyd-weight and postgrey almost everywhere. You didn't mention which platform you are running your MTA on; if it matters, Postfix + amavisd is the default combination used by MacOS X. [1] Recent versions of Postfix support the milter interface originated from Sendmail, so you could use clamav-milter instead. However, milter support is much less mature than using amavisd. Regards, -- -Chuck [1]: Footnoted this point because, at one time, I expected to have to administer Sendmail for as long as I managed mailservers. It would be pleasant to be mistaken here. :-) Not to bash Sendmail-- but I've paid my dues, very literally, by purchasing and reading the 1200+ page Bat book cover-to-cover multiple times, and otherwise sang the Sendmail blues... _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
