Kristine:

I'm a mailscanner newbie, installing "w/ vexira".
I just configured a test machine w/ both CA-eTrust antivirus (called 
from mailscanner) as well as Vexira in sendmail-milter-mode.
(SuSE 9 professional workstation, on a VMWare machine on my 1Ghz laptop)

I haven't tested w/ any mail volume yet.
My guess is that if you've got a 36GB disk (assuming that you're 
delivering mail locally) you don't have much of a mail volume, so it 
sould be fine.

I'm not aware of a config that lets me have vexira be called from 
mailscanner.
