Sort of off topic, but no more so than zings and seasons so I'm going for it.
My whole reason for installing Drake 10 was because my current virus protection vendor did another price hike and I decided to bail... I've pretty much decided to do clam (my mail server is qmail), but I thought the nice, intelligent people on this list could shed some light on the alternatives. To be quite frank, looking for a replacement is a pain and I haven't got the brain cells to weed through 5000 Google hits.
Any recommendations?

Check out amavis-new.
For high performance, spam and virus filtering, amavis-new is the glue between nearly every Linux antivirus app and the MTA itself.
Many members on the amavis mailing list work for ISP's that are running amavis with postfix or qmail or Exim or Sendmail.
Its a daemon that works via content filter in Postfix or milter in sendmail. bascically, with amavis-new, you have one daemon that can handle the spam filtering, (spamassassin) and virus filtering as well as extension blocking, protection against things like mailbombs. (like 42.zip) and many other features.
I personally run many amavis-new boxes, all with Postfix, spamassassin, Clamd and trophie, (an open source daemonised program that runs Trends antivirus engine.) The performance is great, since everything is daemonised there is no startup delays, its never lost me an email for of my clients and blocks a ton of virus's. plus it supports nearly every antivirus product that is available for Linux.
Check it out. http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/
Don't be put off by the plain website, this program has a huge following.
The reason I run it, more then any other, is because its a central point to mail processing, it doesnt' require that you mess with a ton of different many of which need seperate configuration. best of all its already packaged up and available on mdk10 contrib, you can have it up in running in about 10 minutes. (I know because I've done it over a dozen times now.)
