Mailscanner and Amavis-new have way too much overhead IMO. For production, I already have to maintain latest SA releases and Postfix releases, and I know these programs very well. I would rather not put another complex layer that requires updates and seperate config over top of SA if I don't have to. I will try the Spamass-Milter first. Just trying to keep it simple if possible. Thanks
