It does actually.  Just make sure to install the PHP 4 version
that works with both SquirrelMail and the web admin interface if
you intend to use either or both of them.

SquirrelMail works with IMAP too so if it is on a different server
then you have to enable IMAP.

hMailServer is free and open source.

Once I finish the script work for calling Sniffer and the
work-around for ClamDscan and FPROT I'll post it. Clamdscan is the
service (daemon) for ClamAV. No reason that the daemon version of
Sniffer couldn't be used as well.

The SquirrelMail web interface is not bad although it is PHP 4.
The web admin interface is pretty good, too, and can be php 5.

> Looking at migrating to SmarterMail

  I like the weighting that SmarterMail offers for spam checking
  and the web interface is undeniably nice.  And there are many other
  really excellent features including the price which seems reasonable
  to me.

  I have not tested this directly but you should be able to use
  Sniffer with SmarterMail by employing the protocol settings for the
  command line exe or batch file and pointing to Sniffer. This is also
  how one would employ custom scripting. There is (at least I've seen
  a web page) a filter already available on the web for ClamAV and
  SpamAssassin that uses the hook.  It would be pretty easy to use a
  batch file for Sniffer I think.

  Another possibility that might work for some is the open source
  hMailServer in the latest beta which has a scripting provision built
  in for 3 events: OnClientConnect, OnAcceptMessage, OnDeliverMessage.
  It is beta but I've been testing it with no apparent problems thus
  far. It comes with a provision for using ClamWin and an additional
  virus scanner. You can use Clamdscan with a little trickery. Also
  has a COM interface. http://www.hmailserver.com/   In order to
  employ Sniffer you have to use the Scripting provision of the beta
  and put your call to Sniffer in the OnDeliverMessage area.  One
  drawback thus far is the inability to easily add additional
  x-headers but you can easily modify standard headers.

  Not promoting anything - but we've been testing a few things
  ourselves.

  This is not our experience.  Here's an excerpt form our virus
  reporter for the 18th.  Scanner 1 is Fprot.  Scanner 2 is NAI
  (McAfee).  So on the 18th Fprot caught 39 it identified as Netsky.
  However, some of these were corrupted.  All in all I'm happy with
  F-prot but I see enough difference to run 2 and might add a 3rd:
