Thanks all for your input on this.  I got MailScanner up and running 
successfully.  The only other question I have is this:

Our main ISP (our SMTP Gateway) already filters mail for viruses (using 
Sophos) and spam using MailMarshal.  All I really wanted to do with 
MailScanner is to be able to add the signature at the end of all 
outgoing messages.  Mainly a confidentiality notice.  When I go through 
the MailScanner conf file, I turn off all the filtering and scanning, 
and I turn on sign clean messages...  The messages don't get signed. 
So, I turn on the first rule that says scan messages, and then I turn 
off Anti-Virus and Anti-Spam scanning, and it still doesn't add the 
signature at the end.  Is there any way to do this without using AV and 
AntiSpam filtering??


Thanks!
