MailScanner is a general purpose Mail policy program that integrates with your MTA. It is a great help in filtering your mail.
MailScanner runs SpamAssassin and then will pass,dump, or queue up the mail based on it's spam settings. It also can scan each message for known email viruses (using an external AntiVirus program like McAfee, Sophos, RAV, or even CLAM - which is free). MailScanner also lets you set certain policies like no emails with attachments named *.exe, *.com, *.scr, *.pif, etc... This alone wipes out 90% of all email spread viruses It's nice to have some filtering built into Mailman (as in version 3.1.4), but nothing beats the enforcement of mail policies done by MailScanner. Of course the beauty of Open Source is the multitude of ways of getting the same job done - so use whatever makes you feel the most comfortable.
