I've been running mailscanner now for 1 year. I think this is a great
and laudable effort. Thanks Julian.

I posted a message to this list a week or so back, saying that we were
(temporarily) running a commercial product (MailSweeper) behind
MailScanner so MailSweeper would pick up anything which MailScanner had
missed.

Julian's response seemed to be along the lines of "Of course you wont
see anything ....  "

I confess that I was a bit more sceptical.

After a couple of weeks, I can confirm that all we have seen is the
harmless KLEZ viruses with malformed MIME.

Very impressed.
