MailScanner vs. Amavisd

Hi,

I use both. IMHO the releases of amavis are more stable than MailScanner,
but you have to wait for months when you need the new features from amavis.
My mails first get scanned by MailScanner and then by amavis. About 10
viruses
a day get trough MailScanner. I'm sure there are some probs with viruses in
bounces
and broken MIME stuff. Will update to 4.30.3 and pray :-)
MailScanner has the greatest rule system ever seen. You can create for every
option
a cool rule. But I'm missing the *_lovers_* stuff from amavisd-new.
The performance from MailScanner is quiet better and it don't uses different
ports.

Both in a mix is the greatest :-))
