MailScanner & Postfix
Does someone was able to make MailScanner work correctly with Postfix??
I've MailScanner installed and configured to scan for Spam and Virus
through Postfix but look like it's not working as expected, I can see that
is start its job but still too much spam received. The only way for me to
really and correctly block the spam are via Postfix and Spamassassin
directly. If I include MailScanner into the process then lot of spam are
NOT blocked.

Thanks,
I was able to get fast help from MailScanner mailling and fixed my
problem, it's working now. For those who said that MailScanner is not
working with Postfix, that's wrong, it's working fine and consume less
memories than what you have with amavis and spand is no required to
make it run, so you save one more process on your server.
