First of all - thanks for developing and sharing great software. A question about rc3 changes though: What are the pros/cons of invoking perlscanner AFTER your antivirus software? I use F-prot, and I personally like the fact that the F-prot binary is not called for evey Sobig.F that comes through my server. I have a .pif blocking policy set in my quarantine-attachments.db, so those mails are quarantined without ever wasting cpu time scanning them with F-prot.
