I was a very happy RAV antivirus (by Gecad) user, a former free company 
that produced a very good, IMHO, antivirus.
Http://www.ravantivirus.com

Now RAV  was acquired by Microsoft and they'll discontinue all the non 
Windows products.

This is the email they are sending to the customer asking informations.

Now I am looking for another antivirus product that work fine with 
sendmail-milter and FreeBSD.
Is there anyone here that would share their experience with other similar 
products ?

Thanks...
