That's what I am trying to do, except with the native SMTP scanner
from Sophos... Their set-up is the virus scanner is on a separate
server which is not really practical... I'm trying to put the virus
scanner on 25, and sendmail on another port on the same box. Sophos
will forward clean mail to a host/port combo, so I'm hoping that
localhost:2525 (or something like that) will work... I've got amavis
(non daemon) on the box, and it works well most of the time, but
occasionally it goes awol and eats 100% cpu...

I'll try that when I get a spare hour/day/life!

Hmm, could be tricky... I tend to use the SuSE firewall scripts which
can be a little inflexible at times.

Yep thanks...
