Mailscanner checks emails for spam (using spamassassin).

If you have a listed virus checker, it can check emails for virii too
(providing the mailscanner anti-virus parser and the AV app itself can
talk).

I'm now looking at Testing version of mailscanner, and ClamAV (Stable
doesn't support ClamAV). Its for a production server so  hope it is *stable*
enough!!

Out of curiosity, is mail scanner an alternative to spamassassin or is
it something else entirely?
