For those of you running production servers the "testing" package may be
more appropriate than the "unstable" one. The former is based on
MailScanner 4.22 and it has been out for a few weeks now:
http://packages.debian.org/testing/mail/mailscanner.html

I've installed and tested it a bit with Exim, SpamAssassin, ClamAV and F-Prot
and it seems to be working nicely.
I had to specifically uninstall the old version 3 package before
installing the new one and the paths in
/etc/MailScanner/virus.scanners.conf had to be changed from /opt/something
to /etc/MailScanner/wrapper/...
Apart from that I haven't experienced any problems so far.

Nice work Julian and Matthias!

Kind regards,
Jonas
