Subject: MailScanner versus Amavisd-new with postfix
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?

Wietse Venema says that MailScanner uses unsupported methods to
manipulate the queue that could (and has) lead to lost email. I don't
know the full details, but it has been discussed much on the postfix
list. My impression is that the condition is rare, but it does happen.
Just a heads up.
I don't use Postfix any longer so I can't comment on how well
MailScanner works with Postfix. I can say it works wonderfully with
Sendmail. Nothing wrong with Postfix, but new jobs use new tools and I
learn the new tools. That said, this is the semi 'official' MailScanner
stance on Postfix AIUT.

Note that apparently a LOT of MailScanner admins are running Postfix
with no problems. Julian is responsive to an extreme in dealing with his
users. If there was a problem, he would be all over it.

Three years now I've asked Google why they don't have a
logo change for Memorial Day. Why do they choose to do logos
for other non-international holidays, but nothing for
Veterans?
Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
