I've installed MailScanner 4.37.7-1 on a dual processor Opteron system
running FC3. I had only one problem and had great performance
from it, >100,000 mail messages per day checked and passed on with a
load average of around 1.  Unfortunately it was only temporary while the
existing machine was repaired so I cannot vouch for later versions.

The only issue I had was getting sophossavi to install.  It would not
compile the i386 support
as it constantly detected a 64bit Perl and tried to use that.  Sophos
were little help and it seems
likely that they will not have an x86_64 bit version any time soon.
I was forced to drop back to using the Sophos binary.
