FYI, I believe that IMGate does offer virus scanning. However, I believe it requires
an annual fee to Kaspersky, so depending on your situation, it may be worth checking
out.

Most of our customers are running McAfee VirusScan ( www.mcafee.com ) or Frisk's
F-Prot ( www.complex.is ). McAfee is better known, but isn't designed to deal well
running multiple instances. You'll notice it causing errors at perhaps 10,000
E-mails/day, and lots of 'em at 25,000+ E-mails/day. Declude v1.12 and higher will
attempt rescanning those files up to 5 times, which means the mail will almost always
get scanned. But, between "almost always" and the higher CPU time, it can be an issue
for larger sites.
