[Mimedefang] mimedefang and trend micro's interscan viruswall

[Xiaoyan Ma]

Stephen:
I somehow missed this post. This is what I have now:  I have upgraded MD to 
2.3 as you suggested and installed trophie to run trend micro's viruswall 
and SA to filter spam, both through MD.  I first start trophie separately 
as a daemon (that is how I got it to work, I believe trophie hands scanned 
message to SA.  I am not sure if there is a better way) and then start MD, 
followed by sendmail deamon which checks DNSBL checking.  Now I realize I 
should have SA to run BL checking, instead of sendmail.  I have to look 
into this though.

For your setup , I assume having 2 separate daemons for virus and DNSBL is 
to save system resource. How do you handle load balancing? Our site is 
quite busy, 8,000 to 12,000 messages per day, and at least 20% of them are 
sent to mailing lists with 100-500 subscribers.

Thanks again for your help.

Xiaoyan
