I didn't research alternatives, but are under the impression that there are non off the shelf - BUT the problem has hit me, too ;-) Well... I thought of the following things that could be done to reduce the server load (needs profiling, of course): - rewrite qmail-scanner in Python I don't like the config mechanism of qmail-scanner, too, and python scripts can be compiled, thereby not recompiling the whole stuff over and over on startup. - rewrite qmail-scanner in some other language I would do this only if the former approach were unsuccessful. But using a bigger machine would probably be one of the cheapest solutions 8-( Best, --Toni++
