Sorry Tony, that's not correct. Though the MILTER interface (Send_M_ail
f_ILTER) originally was an enhancement in Sendmail, meanwhile since quite
some time Postfix supports milter applications as well.

So of course Postfix users can implement milter based solutions. And in
contrast to an AMaViS setup a milter based binding of ClamAV is
lightweight.
