I've used both mailscanner and mimedefang, and mimedefang (a milter) is DEFINATELY faster. mailscanner started to choke whenever loads of e-mail came in. Using mimedefang, I've got SpamAssassin spam scanning, and clamd virus scanning going on a FreeBSD box that's pushing 50-80k msgs/day through it, and I'm sure it'll handle a good deal more. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get mailscanner to keep up with the load, even when it was fairly consistant. Mailscanner would pick up all the messages in it's queue, and by the time it was done scanning them, there were more in it's queue than it had origonally picked up. Repeat that a bunch of times, then there's 10,000 messages sitting in it's queue. If anyone has had different experiances, I'd be interested in knowing how you got mailscanner to do it. As far as including spamassassin's headers, I don't remember how to do that with mailscanner. mimedefang makes it fairly easy though. BTW, sopho's is also supported by mimedefang, so you won't have to worry about getting/using a different virus scanner. -- Josh I. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Influence the future of Java(TM) technology.
