Anti-virus Performance

[James Davis]

I'm looking to perform a MailScanner installation for a large customer of
ours. My manager is curious as to the performance of the Anti-virus
components of MailScanner due to some issues we've been having with a
particular combination of e-mail security product and command line
anti-virus scanner. In particular it was only able to launch one command
line scanner at a time, which was only scanning one attachment at a time
resulting in a low throughput.

I've read the Operation section of the readme.html on the MailScanner
website, but I'm still unsure as to how many AV processes MailScanner will
use and how.

Does anyone have any figures on how the use of AV scanners with
MailScanner effects performance?

Thanks,

James
