I'm using exim(4)+exiscan-acl, which is about as easy as virus scanning can ever be. It required about five lines of config change in exim, all of which are completely transparent. Plus, it denies mail at the DATA step, which reduces use of my disks, processor, memory, time... and it will never send a bounce itself. (Bounces can still be generated, if the virus has passed through a relay - but most email viruses these days talk to the server directly.). Spamassassin is easy too - it's set up as a transport filter, so that was one line in the config. I really like that setup... -- Charles Cooke, Sysadmin
