I'm using RH9 with Sendmail and MailScanner. I used the auto-installer for MailScanner and it worked great! MailScanner is sort of a Mail Policy Enforcer. I have it set to not allow any attachments with filenames *.exe, *.com, *.scr, *.pif, etc... This strips out 90 - 95% of all viruses. MailScanner will also run SpamAssassin for you and an anti-virus scanner of your choice - you must supply the anti-virus scanner; but it does work with Clam (the Open Source anti-virus scanner). I would be happy to give a presentation on the install and configuration of MailScanner with SpamAssassin and Clam, if folks are interested.
