Personally, I use clamsmtp for virus scanning only and amavisd-new if the requirement is for both virus and spam scanning. They all have their advantages. It also depends a bit on what O/S distribution you're using. In Debian/Ubuntu, none of the people who maintain clamav use the milter so it gets very light testing at the distribution level. Scott K
