It's cheap, it will save you a lot in MailScanner hardware, and it *really* does work. Very well.<br>

I've personally and subjectively found antispam products from people other than Julian lacking in almost every respect - from bad default settings to false positives in ranges too high to work comfortably.<br>
<br>
I've also found that ClamAV by itself is very good - and when combined with one (or more, if hardware allows) commercial engines you get a very thin additional layer of protection that's not bad, but the licensing has to be really cheap in order to get a reasonable ROI.<br>

Hi all<br>
<br>
I recently had to renew one of our antivirus licenses for mailscanner.<br>
<br>
And I got to thinking, do anybody use a product which on top of<br>
simple virus protection also<br>
<br>
includes some sort of spam protection which can be used in<br>
combination with mailscanner?<br>
<br>
The reason I am asking is that a lot of the AV companies got anti<br>
spam products so I was just wondering if<br>
<br>
Any of them could be used in combination with mailscanner to help<br>
spamassassin kill all the spam.<br>
<br>
Atm. we use:<br>
<br>
F-secure (Which includes kaspersky’s engine)<br>
<br>
ClamAV (Obviously)<br>
<br>
ESET NOD32 (Because we got a great deal with them)<br>
<br>
Of those I only know about 3^rd party sigs for ClamAV.<br>
<br>
So if anybody have any tips or suggestions let me know J<br>
