I stopped using SA because it was not the best tool for me, but it may serve you well. Many love it. You can get some good info here, but not specific to your issue: http://www.postfix.org/docs.html Check out the UCE/Virus contributions. amavisd-new, http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/ is your best bet for easy integration in a mail gateway. Mark Martinec, the author of the amavis changes that make up amavisd-new, is very active in Postfix, and his documentation is good. If on a gateway, the FILTER_README that comes with Postfix is an important read for what you will be doing. procmail, from what I hear, is the best solution for a mail server that is the final destination, and not a gateway. I see a couple other posters already commented on it. Lastly, a great place to search would be the Postfix users archive: http://groups.google.com/groups?group=mailing.postfix.users and http://msgs.securepoint.com/postfix/ are two easy ways to get that archive. --Eric
