I've used xawtv to view video locally, but have never found anything other
than Gnomemeeting for remote.  There was a java-based program - I think it
was called Palantir - that had a web interface, but the frame rate was
horrendusly slow - maybe good for security, but not for a home user's webcam.

I've heard good things about ClamAV.  If you're just doing webhosting it
probably won't be a big deal, though.

You'll need a .forward file in your home directory that says
"|/usr/bin/procmail".  SpamAssassin isn't overkill, but neither it nor
procmail are being invoked.  I'd recommend that you put your SA rules near
the end; it'll speed up processing of mail that want sorted and don't expect
spam to, like this list.
