I know nothing of the product you speak of - but dont MTAs have options
for filtering software? I know postfix does, could you get the inbound
postfix MTA to run this filter over the mail before it gets to the
cinoming dir for MailScanner to begin its work? That is of course unless
mailscanner be configured to use this and SA ?
