Setting up anti-spam and anti-virus software can be a very tedious process. I tried various approaches over a period of months before hitting upon our current solution. We now use MailScanner to integrate spamassassin and clamav into our sendmail MTA. This seems to be the least burdensome from a maintenance point of view and still provides a useful degree of configurability . The MailScanner people can also point you to a reasonable fee for service organization to assist you in setting things up.. HTH -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
