Has anyone already written a plugin to call either the Sophos sweep CLI or the Sophie daemon?

I'm going to be evaulating AV packages over the next month or so, and I'd appreciate any recommendations that you can give. In particular, I am interested in the following criteria:

1) timely signature updates.

2) ability to submit unknown messages for scanning via a web interface, preferrably with immediate feedback.

3) Cost - we have about 400 users and I don't necessarily want to change their desktop app just to run a different scanner on the boundary.

4) Performance - having a resident scanner is good, but not essential; I'd rather the scanner be good than fast.

To date, the McAfee Enterprise Suite we have has been very good, but I am concerned that they are slipping. In particular, I have a sample infected message which uvscan is still failing on under Linux, though the Windows version can flag it. It seems like the not-recently-updated engine under *nix is not cutting it any more.

TIA

John
