Why not just add this to the list of why you should be our customer and not
some other ISP's?

We do it and call it the cost of doing business. Sometimes "nickle and
diming" the customer only makes things worse.

I have a small ISP, and it's easy for me to say those things, I know some
people on the list run large ISP's and really need to cut costs, and charge
extra for ever little service. I can tell you from our experience that
people that have moved their service away have usually come back because we
don't charge extra for E-mail virus scanning.

Well, we had a few choices and we went with amavis. The problem is that it
only seems to work system wide which is not what we wanted because of two
reasons:
A- We don't wnat to put that kind of load on the server (scanning EVERY
piece of mail
B- We intend to charge a small fee to those subscribers who want it so
whatever we end up with, we must have the ability on switching it on/off on
a per user basis.

We also had on the list DRWEB, Inflex and ......

Any suggestions?
