Virus Scan Order

[Brent Strignano]

For lightly loaded servers could you run two MS processes on the same
box like this?

MTA --> mqueue.in --> MS1 Virus Scan --> mqueue.2 --> MS2 Spam Scan -->
mqueue --> MTA

Would just need to set the incoming, outgoing and work dirs differently.

technically no, but why technically bother with MS at all as it can in
other ways too..

the nice thing about MS is that is acts as a glue and you can alter the
email processing  very easily without having to mess with half a dozen
different programs.

ie administratively its 'easier' to do it in MS (of course
Julian/someone has to fess with the code radically so for them it's not
that much easier ;-)
