What's the best method to use SA?

Hello.

I have used SA using with procmail.
and clamav + sendmail(libmilter) against virus.

But I have found that other related solutions like 
http://www.mailscanner.info/ or 
http://www.amavis.org/. 

I don't know what's the difference or better between SA using procmail or 
above solutions.
more fast or more effective??

Anyone who uses above solutions?


Thanks...

I use Exim with the integrated SA ACL.
I'm really pleased with how it works.

  The original amavis is not well supported AFAIK.  However, it has a
descendant amavisd-new which is actively developed and supported.
  <http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/>

  I don't know mailscanner, but amavisd-new is a much more efficient
approach for a mailserver, especially at ISP level.  The two main
differences are 1) Spamassassin (and clamav) get run once per incoming
mail, not once for every recipient, and 2) amavisd-new runs as a
daemon, so Spamassassin only has to be compiled in Perl once instead of
once per incoming message.

  *Lots* of mailservers use amavisd-new, including many ISPs and 3rd
party mail providers, FWIW.
