Second AV Scanner Suggestions

[Martin.Hepworth]

Johnny

Amavisd/new etc is sort of like MailScanner in that it glues, sa, anti-virus and its own checks into one lump. So using amavisd-new won't buy you anything other than a higher load average ;-)

Kapersky seems to rate well, as does f-prot.

I use Sophos as an extra myself.
