Lawrence> And it's dat updates allowed for a simple crontab on it. amavisd (as opposed to amavis) might help with the scaling issue (use with milter). If you want something that doesn't need amavisd's help, H+BEDV's avmailgate (http://www.hbedv.com/produkte/email/lnx_mailgate.htm) might work. Kaspersky (http://www.kaspersky.com/products.html) also has a FreeBSD-native email scanner. I have no data on how either of these holds up to heavy email traffic; reports indicate that Kaspersky's does a more thorough job.
