However, ASSP (nor ClamSMTP nor ClamAV) do not run on Windows. There are, of course, other solutions, but this combination is the best I have found for the price (or any price, although the high-priced commercial market is not really my expertise). I'm honestly trying to help Yann come up with an ideal solution for what it sounds like his problem may be, not push idealogy.
Speaking of idealogy, I think a lot of people choose Windows because of comfort and familiarity, which are really not the best reasons to make server based decisions (or arguably most reasonably complex IT decisions), but I acknowledge that this is an opinion and not a clear fact. I also run two Windows servers simply because I need them to debug IT problems for clients, so I use them as test beds for changes I intend or need to make to client systems. I am at a loss as to why someone would want a (very) expensive operating system for a server when free ones are available that perform at least as well (oh, wait, I know, Exchange and Active Directory - yay!). Not an argument, just an opinion from my experience. Bill certainly doesn't need the income. Thanks for the reminder not to start any wars! Certainly never my intention - there are enough ridiculous wars around without my help (um, I hope that doesn't start another discussion!)
