Hello Gang.

Since there is no way to oder the scanning of messages pertaining to
Virus first, Spam last in MailScanner _yet_, I have done the following.
I have installed the clamav-milter module and told the milter module to
silently reject all mails that are virus infected. This has
significantly dropped the load on those machines which typically receive
a lot of Viruses and not as much Spam. Of course Sophos is still running
from MailScanner, so now and then a Virus is caught by it, ensuring that
the whole environment stays "safe". I thought this might be a valuable
tip for an "alternate" setup. I am sure you could use any milter capable
Virus Scanner to do this and then use a second on on the command line
from within MailScanner just to be sure.
