Am I allowed to vote for all three components?  I see value in each of them, and 
administrators should be able to choose what they need and don't.  I would prefer it 
if the installation script asked during install, just like the other components do.  
Perhaps you can display some information, including the resource usage of each 
component.  Of course, if the choosen MTA doesn't support the module, that question 
can be ommitted.

I think you could diplay quite a bit more information in the installation script about 
the choices.  Since many people who install Openprotect may not have a lot of 
knowledge of each component, this could really help.  In fact, an installation script 
with good information in it can function as effectively as a GUI interface for 
beginners.  BTW, nice job on the installation script, it is great.

I am excited about OpenProtect because I know many Unix email administrators who could 
use it.  These are the ones that choose not to filter email for SPAM and viruses 
because they think it is too complicated.  OpenProtect is an amazingly simple way to 
install and configure the most effective tools to filter email.  (Don't forget to 
credit MailScanner, Spamassassin, ClamAV, and others).

As Scott Heisler says, we the developers of openprotect are also 
impressed with the features of MailWatch, but the problem is it is a 
little bit resource hungry (mysql, jpgraph and proper support is not 
there for all MTAs), so can you people give your opinion about the web 
frontend of openprotect - whether it should be for tweaking config only 
(webmin), stats only(mrtg) or both (mailwatch) or maybe provide all and 
ask your choice at install time ?

The trouble with platform independent packaging :(.

cheers,
Ganesh, KM.
