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. http://www.postfix.org/MILTER_README.html 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. Regards Alexander
