I've followed all the AV-related threads for months and don't feel like I've seen an industrial-strength strategy yet. LinuxJournal presented a method using Obtuse as a store-and-forward smtpd ahead of the "real" mail server ( Building an E-mail Virus Detection System for Your Network )  with the "store to" and "forward from" locations being 2 different locations.  A script was built to periodically empty the "store to" loc, scan each file (using a commercial command line product), then either move them to the "forward from" location, or put into quarentine, delete, etc, based on return codes from the scan.  With Courier, I would need to alter the default inbound flow to /tmp/nnnnnn/xxxxx and force smtp module to flow files into /tmp/in/xxxxx and delivery module to pick up from /tmp/out/xxxxx.  Anyone know of a build-time or run-time option which might enable this strategy with Courier instead of using Obtuse or a seperate server?
