i use clamav-milter with 5000 users since years no problems before i used clamsmtp no problems milter is before-queue, so youre able to reject infected mails in the smtp income stage ( very cool ) http://www.postfix.org/MILTER_README.html clamsmtp ist after-queue like ie typical amavis filter, so you allready have the infected mail in queue, and have to do something with it ( quarantaine etc ), in germany its not allowed to i.e delete i.e infected mails which are allready queued, so at minimum you have to inform the recipient that he got an infected mail, bouncing to sender is no good option after queue cause it may be faked so for low traffic sites clamav-milter is an easy an good option you can also sanesecurity antispam siganature additional so you have basic antispam and antivir, clamav-milter is also fast enough scanning sasl_authed mail by your users outgoing, i als have combined it with spamass-milter ( but only for unauth income mail ) for more complex wishes use amavis > > In situation where you are doing both A/V and A/S, then I would integrate > clamav with postfix using amavisd-new. > > Scott K > -- Best Regards MfG Robert Schetterer
