If you are using Qmailrocks toaster you may want to look at using Bill's instead as it contains everything you might need in one nice setup. http://www.shupp.org/toaster (Note: It seems the qmailrocks author is still sym linking clamscan to clamdscan and using clamscan as the default scanner. This will GREATLY increase your overhead for no good reason and if you run a reasonably busy mail server it will grind to a halt because of this.) Regards, Rick
