Not to start any flamewars, but does anyone have strong opinions
on MailScanner versus Amavisd-new for use with postfix (and of
course SpamAssassin and ClamAV)?

In the old days it seemed Amavisd-new may have integrated better
with postfix, but is that no longer the case?  Some folks say
MailScanner is faster and leaner.

What gives?

can't say I've compared the two, but I run MailScanner and it does have a couple of neat features recently - it's own MD5 cache of recent spam which speeds things up alot, and the inbuilt phishing testing (yeah ok this has been in a while).

it also glues SA, 12 anti-virus engines, and it's own tests (like executables which has saved me a few times before the av people have updates).

horses for courses, but it's nice to have a choice of amavis-new OR MailScanner.
