MTA + AV: opinions?

[Andre Costa]

Just wanted to thank everybody that replied to this topic, every
response definitely helped us have a better picture of the options
available. Also, many thks to those who shared traffic and load numbers.

Our new installation has been put off for a couple of days, so I will
sign off this ML until then (I will definitely come back here if we get
stuck again ;)). If anyone wishes to contact me directly for any reason,
please do not hesitate to send me a msg offlist.

Best,

Andre
