Thanks for the feedback.
Apologies if I worded my original email badly. I have the upmost respect for the ClamAV project and what it stands for. I am very keen on deploying ClamAV myself. I have already thrown several new viruses at it and it has blocked them all so far. As you might expect though I am the technical guy who is trying to convince the suits that ClamAV *isn't* too good to be true! - which is why I need ammunition to get their go-ahead.
With regard to Amavis. The performance figures you mention look very promising.
We are looking at deploying 2 x Dual Xeon 2.8Ghz, 2Gb RAM and a NetApp Filer
(with NFS mounts) for the mail store. I will take another look at Exiscan - I
thought orginally that you couldn't have the opt-in/out ability which we need.
Thanks again, Ray
Quoting "Fajar A. Nugraha" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
We currently use Sophos AV and we have a large number of corporate customers who need some
assurance that the level of AV protection we are providing is more than
respectable. Can anybody point me at any good documents or pages that I can
put in front of our marketing people to reassure them that ClamAV is up to the
job?

Depends on what you mean by "the level of AV protection we are providing is more than respectable". Keep in mind that clamav is still pre-1.0.
So, if you want to say "look, I use clamav. It's great, it will never cause any problem, and we get great commercial support" -- you won't be able to. Get a commercial AV product and support. That way, you can blame their salesperson when it fails to catch a particular virus :)
But you can say "Hey, I use clamav. It's still under development, but many people are using it already because it works great. It's open source, so you don't have to worry about license to use it. Sometimes it even recognizes new mail virus faster than other commercial AV vendors"
Then you can point them to http://www.clamav.net/whos.html#pagestart to see which companies brave enough (and satisfied with it, judging by the fact that they're featured there) to use this pre-1.0 software.
