Apart from my usual recommendations for Postfix (easy to configure, robust, secure, yada yada), I'd recommend it in this case because it's really easy to configure resources per queue or transport, which sounds like what you need in this case. ie. you can give it a maximum number of mails that it can send through your virus scanning transport, and a different number to accept externally. That means you can accept a lot of mail, and only queue it up to the virus scanner at a rate that the machine can handle. I'm sure other MTAs will do the same thing, I just find Postfix to have a really good simplicity/minimalism/features/power sweet spot. :-) - Jeff -- Fear and Loathing in Dublin, Ireland -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
