Hi Michael, i think this thread doesnt belong in stable@, but questions@ - i dont see how this refers to one particular version of freebsd in particular. > In the short term, we need to keep > Plesk around for those that need the "ease of use".

I dont know of any way to bypass the licensing limitations... i strongly suggest if you walked into those you simply get rid of plesk now. I am not sure for SA, but there is a version of qscan that supports passing the email to Clamav: http://www.hostbird.com/beta/index.php?loc=0602-0602 Maybe there is something out there to support SA? Or simply configure qmail to support SA - you wont get an interface to manage SA from plesk, but you aren't missing much, IMHO - most of our users dont care about custom spam/ham , but rely on the system wide bayes list. (qmail is another reason to move away from plesk, imho... :( ) _________________________ {Beto|Norberto|Numard} Meijome "Liberty is not a means to a higher political end.
