feature ideas

I'll second that request.

we run Mimesweeper and I'd to get off it into mailscanner, but I need
the ability to capture all mails, and I guess I can through together an
context scanner from stuff already out there.

on and a side note has anyone run mailscanner with postfix? I hate
sendmail with a passion (way way too many options) and although exim is
a nice alternative I prefer postfix
