Marcel, SortMonster has never been very resource intensive on my end. Then again, I use MxGaurd. I can't imagine that Declude handles it that much differently though. I did have problems when I tried to run it in the persistent mode. I finally gave up on it. It seems to work just fine without it.
I've never tried running AVG on a server. I wasn't even aware that they had a command line scanner. Make sure that you are not using the Windows real-time scanner to scan within your Imail folders. That will cause nothing but trouble. I also use F-Prot, and I have very few problems with it. It's also running on MxGuard. You might as well upgrade to the latest version of F-Prot, since you're already paying for it.
