As a comparison with qmailscan, I ran MailScanner with just the Virus 
Scanning turned on, and all the spam checks and dangerous HTML checks 
switched off.
So just as a virus scanner it managed

Hardware: dual Opteron, 4Gb RAM, SCSI disk.
Software: RHEL4, MailScanner 4.50
MailScanner setup:  Virus  scanning only
Speed: 4,700,000 messages per day
= 55 messages per second

Can qmailscan beat that?
