In this case the comparison is unfair then, since you say MailScanner
doesnt catch all the viruses that amavisd catches, yet you have an extra
virus scanner (a VERY good one) installed on amavisd - you should be
VERY careful about posting your conclusions and not including all the
facts as they could very easily be the difference of 10 viruses per day ?

Plus the test needs to be tried in reverse before anyone can say one
system is better at catching viruses than the other...
