First time installation of MailScanner

[Stephen Liu]

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your advice.

The solution will be a little bid complicate.  I think I have to find an
AntiVirus software from Open Source to filter M$ junk mails

Have you had any suggestion?  Or any folk has any proposal?

Thanks in advance.

B.R.
Stephen
