Once you've done that and if you're still finding stuff that gets through perhaps you could report exactly what here so that folks round these parts can find out why.  Are you using the same virus scanner in both cases?  Would you mind telling us how many mails you process each day to we can get that figure of 10 per day in perspective.

I'd also like to point out that we don't know  how many MailScanner would catch that Amavis misses if the order of scanning were reversed.  Anyone running that setup?

What is the *_lovers_* that you speak of?
