Maybe so, but I'm currently using mailscanner primarily for anti-spam and
I've got the virus chunk of things cut off on all my production machines.
I don't want to run the virus software without paying for it.  :)  I like
the fact that mailscanner will tag the spam and still send it to the user
so I don't get anybody annoyed for deleting e-mail they want.  I'm very
much looking forward to the release of mailscanner with junkbuster
integrated.

I found that 2.6 still tries to run  /usr/local/Sophos/bin/sophoswrapper
with "Virus Scanning = no", however.  I was waiting to mention it until I
could investigate and send in a patch, but I haven't gotten there yet.
