Hi Again 
 
Thank for the quick answer, i have a another question:
 
if you compare mailscanner to amavis-new which is better catching spam? both uses DCC,Razor,Pyzor and Spamassassin? 
 
i am busy building a mailgateway with ubuntu, mailscanner and postfix...for the first time
 
Thanks

It can do, but there are a few good reasons why it shouldn't.
 
First off, there's not much point in replacing incoming spam emails by emails from MailScanner.  You might as well just deliver it all and let the user decide.
 
Secondly, a lot of the subject lines in spam are deeply offensive to various people, so even telling end users the email subject lines could be troublesome.
 
MailWatch can be configured to send users summary reports of what's been blocked, but see above.
 
Cheers,
 
Phil
