Hi,
this is a copy'n'paste from a message I wrote in December 2005 to the
AMaViS list.

Hi,
I thought you might like to know how much a commercial solution _very_
similar to amavisd-new+ClamAV+SA+MySQL+mailzu costs.
Something with AV+AS and webQuarantine to be installed on your own
hardware, and a nice web interface for management (configuration).
For 10k mailboxes it is about 12 USD/mailbox/year. But for 200 mailboxes
the cost increases to 50 USD/mbx/year. There are of course reductions if
the license coves 2 or 3 years.
How much money is your setup worth? :-)
.........................
I'd go for spare lower-level machines that can just be turned on until
the main one is fixed. Anyway, unless someone has shell access to your
SA installation, it shouldn't software-break. Over here it hasn't in
over 3 years of uninterrupted >100kmsgs/day/server. Mind disk occupation
if you quarantine to disk, though!
Depending on your traffic, Postix+SA could be handled by a P4 1GB RAM
machine without slowdowns.
