Hi;
Well, I've been using the "Sendmail+Amavis+Sophos+Sophie" combo
for a while, and it runs smoothly.
You'll need to do some changes to your sendmail.cf, to make Amavis
scan all incoming and outgoing email. It uses a double queue. You can
find the details in the docs.
The only weird thing I'd needed to do was to add a crontab line to
flush one of the queues regularly, 'cause sendmail didn't do it.
But it works.
Saludos
Javier
