In order to pull off what you want to do using milter/sendmail, I'd think you'd have to make each box a separate site and use the IMS for site connectivity. That's doable, albiet ugly. For that particular instance, I'd strongly suggest looking at an Exchange based Antivirus solution - the two worth considering are Trend's Scanmail and Sybari's Antigen.
Site design is usually a gut feel for me. My personal goal is to create as few sites as possible - for instance, the last two large scale deployments I've worked on have used a single site to cover all of North America. In one case, that was 26 machines connected on a WAN fabric that varied from 384k to 6Mbps, depending on location. Going on the assumption that there is reasonable free bandwidth on the T1 mentioned, I'd go single site. Roger ------------------------------------------------------ Roger D.
