symantec scan on MailScanner

[Randal, Phil]

Good counter-example!  I've had malware detected by McAfee's uvscan
before Bitdefender and ClamAV too.  But recently Bitdefender's been
getting some of the Trojan.Downloader.Small-xxx variants well before
McAfee or ClamAV.

As far as I'm concerned, the more scanners the merrier, as long as your
MailScanner box can handle the load.

Cheers,

Phil
