i built up a 4.5 box this past spring, and sendmail, clamav, and spamassassin are what i used. for me the only question was to use sendmail or postfix. in the end, i chose sendmail because it's in base. that's really all it came down to for me---i don't like the idea of passing up all the hardwork that goes into sendmail by the devs for something shiny and new. i get to (have to?) support postfix at $work, so at least i do get the resume-building benefit of knowing more than one MTA. > Specifically, I wanted to know how clamav and spamassassin are invoked > by sendmail.
