Hi Michael,

You see, I think MailScanner is a horrible contraption where someone
cobbled one stupid idea on top of another and somehow kept things just
one step from falling apart on their own.

And I won't sell anything that I'm not convinced of. Hence I never will
offer a MailScanner package. I did so many, many years ago and it simply
was horrible stuff. I really don't want to go there again.

[DG] Although I never had any issues with MailScanner, I will not argue about that, YMMV...

> Any other solution comes to your mind?

The AV-SPAM from the BlueOnyx Shop. It uses SpamAssassin/SpamAss-Milter,
Clam AV + Clam-Milter and Milter Greylist.
....

[DG] I am a big fan of milters and I do use them for all my servers.

[DG] The only problematic msgs are those with medium score or false positives.

[DG] I like these to be quarantined, examined by an admin, site-admin or the user, and either released/re-classified or discarded.

[DG] For me, rejecting a valid email is a bad move, that's what the quarantine is for.
 
[DG] I love the concept of BQ and BO, but I can't run a hosting solution without a manageable quarantine.

BTW: All my other non BQ servers are running j-chkmail with _great_ results, take a look at http://www.j-chkmail.org/wiki/doku.php - I think you will like it.

Regards,
