Our esteemed colleagues have donated their windows/CS SCM machine to us
for conversion to a mailscanner device. But duriung RHEL 4 install we
notice something funny going on - it was that what they had donated as a
dual 2.8ghz/4GB Ram mail gateway is actualy a quad cpu/4gb RAM mail
gateway. (not sure how this info escaped the previous owners)

Anyway, now we have this incredible machine to handle inbound mail for
40k email per week, I wonder what type of configuration option i can try
  to ensure i the have absolute max anti spam/av capability?

3 AV scanners seems like the first option - what else could i o for?
