MTA + AV: opinions?

[Andre Costa]

Hi all,

we're in the process of deploying a new mail server on our intranet, and
we need to provide virus scanning. So far we're considering the
following setup: postfix + mailscanner + bitdefender

As we realized bitdefender support status is still marked as beta, we
searched this mailing list for any opinions about it, and found some
pretty negative ones dated 2003.

So, my questions are:

- has BitDefender improved in anyway since then? Anyone using it?
- if not, what (free) AV solution are you guys using? What's your level
of satisfaction with it?
- any recommendation about what MTA to use? we've initially dumped
sendmail for security reasons, but we're willing to listen to any
experience you guys could share.

I know I might be touching some personal preferences here, and I
don't expect consensus (nor a flamewar! =)). Any opinion (good or bad)
will be helpful, we'll consider them all ;)

TIA

Andre
