Y'all,
I've tried amavis in the past, and while it works fairly well, virus
scanning on a mail hub isn't worth it IMHO. The CPU cycles needed to
break out attachments and run them thru a virus scanner are large, and
for all that effort I didn't seem to catch much. It was a
waste of CPU at our site, and I gave up on it. My opinion is that
virii are frankly a Microsoft problem because of the design of their
OS and their use of VB scripts. Microsoft needs to address the problem
at their end...
