I can second that recommendation. We use the FreeBSD native daemon version in our amavisd-new setup, and it works great. From time to time it reports unknown viruses on non-infected emails, but they're always badly formatted spams, so we just reject them as viruses and move on. With a moderately loaded server (~100000 emails a day), load hovers around 1.0, with the majority of that being SpamAssassin. The most significant advantage that F-Prot had over the competition was the native FreeBSD version, and the low price. Most of the other AV companies charged on a per-user basis, which turned out to be fairly expensive. F-Prot is $300 or $450 per server, regardless of the number of users protected. -- Ted Cabeen http://www.pobox.com/~secabeen ted@impulse.net Check Website or Keyserver for PGP/GPG Key BA0349D2 secabeen@pobox.com "I have taken all knowledge to be my province." -F.
