>From the Postfix Add-On Software page: mailscanner system, works with Postfix and other MTAs. WARNING: This software uses unsupported methods to manipulate Postfix queue files directly. This will result in corruption or loss of mail. The mailscanner authors have so far refused to discuss a proper access API or protocol. Personally, I believe that there are better methods of achieving what you desire. Personally, I use "amavis" <http://amavis.sourceforge.net/>. -- Jerry _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
