John,
I've never used that method myself. However, if it works
then in theory you can turn on/off SA on a per-domain basis.
Here's how we are doing it: We use qmail-scanner along with
the QMAILQUEUE patch. Basically, qmail-scanner is configured to use
clamav and SA for scanning. Since qmail-scanner is called in place
of qmail-queue (done by setting the QMAILQUEUE environment variable
in tcpserver) it scans all incoming mail for viruses and spam. Plus,
we can use smtproutes to provide virus and spam filtering. (Just MX
their domain to us, use smtproutes to route to their real mail
esrver, and on the way through it gets scanned.)
To me, the best method is using qmail-scanner, but that has
the side effect that you can't toggle on/off spam and virus filtering
on a per-user or per-domain basis. As long as you can live with that
(I can) then I'd go with qmail-scanner. :)
