MailScanner Flow

[Martin Hepworth]

Sort of,
mailscanner sits between two mta queues so you need An mta running or two
depending on which mta you use.

Spamd should be off as ms uses the perl api to call sa.

Clamd can still be used as if you setup your mailscanner.conf correctly for
groups etc it will call clamd itself. ( see the info in the file about
this).

Rest as previous poster mentioned.
