2 problems with the latest version of eTrust.
1) It doesn't support RedHat Server 5. Won't even install, and it is not 
listed in the "supported OSes" list. A bit poor, considering RedHat 5.1 
is out now, 5.0 has been out for quite a long time, and this is the 
latest version of eTrust.
2) There is no command-line updater available. You have to run their 
whole management system to be able to update the signatures, rendering 
it unusable in anything other than a big corporate environment.

As a result of these problems, I would no longer recommend eTrust to 
anyone unless they already have a large licence for it, and they have 
their own redistribution server to force signature updates onto the 
MailScanner servers.
