I use FreeBSD with the packages you mention, but theyre' all wrapped up with Maia Mailguard. I consider it a very clean all-in-one package for Antispam/Antivirus. My user base is about 275 people, so it's all on one box - a Dell 1950 with 1g RAM, and it hardly breaks a sweat. I have lots of other FreeBSD boxes as well, and simply replace sendmail on each one with postfix. I am biased, but I've long preferred FreeBSD to any flavor of Linux for ease of administration - FreeBSD simply makes more sense to me than any Linux I've ever touched. Others will differ, but that's my preference. Tastes great, less filling. Kurt
