Hi,

I have to agree with Julian - surprising isn't it :-)

I personally prefer the two file approach as well. With the defer
router you can make absolutely sure that NO mail is routed without
being "mailscanned". And be honest: It is not that hard to work with
two files at all.

And then you install a second product, forget to make this change and
uups... That mail is not being scanned then. I stick with KISS (just
in case: Keep It Simple Stupid). Once Exim/MailScanner is setup
correctly it does not matter how dumb I or an other administrator in
my network is: mail WILL have to pass MailScanner.


Kind regards,
 JP
