Hi all, I am in the process of trialing RAV with sendmail libmilter. Easy to install, auto-updates, and best of all, for ISP's, the licencing is based on the number of domains you want to protect and you can add them as you want. So you can sell the virus scanning as a "value add" that you can switch on or off. I have not run it under any considerable load as yet but so far it looks good. http://www.ravantivirus.com/ Cheers Rob.
