[Mimedefang] Anti-virus software

[Steven.Ellison at hardywines.com.au]

I must add, I have been using ClamAV on a mail gateway for 800 users and 
have found
it very good.  Stable while processing around 100,000 messages a month.

We use this as a gateway to a Domino system with Symantec on the Domino 
servers.
Not much gets through.

We are using File:Scan as well.

This sort of run-time information is invaluable. The primary reason I want
to get rid of AVP, is that it is not stable enough (at least not the 3.05
version I have running). Since I TEMPFAIL when the scanner is down, that
can get quite annoying. :)

I am currently running a stress test, to see if I can get the socket to
collapse; but, so far, clamd really hangs in there. The decision is made,
I will use ClamAV. :) Thank you all for your contributions.
