MS vs. Amavis

[Eric Dantan Rzewnicki]

I'm in the process of switching from amavisd to MS. In no particular
order, here are some of the reasons:

-amavis development is fragmented into various forks of the project.
 Along with that comes fragmentation of the user/support community.
-amavis doesn't do spam filtering
-amavis AFAIK calls an instance of your virus scanner for every single
 message whereas MS gathers mail up into batches and invokes the virus
 scanner for each batch.
-MS focuses on scanning mail. amavis tries to do smtp. it seems better
 to leave that to the MTA

Just a few reasons we're looking at switching. I'm sure others will have
more.
