And noone mentioned Clam AntiVirus (http://clamav.elektrapro.com/) It's in the ports - I 'discovered' it a few days ago and have been playing around with it. It is GPLed code, promises up to date virus databases, provides a daemon that automatically downloads signed updates over the net, and is quite fast. They're working on a sendmail-milter currently, I'd like to try that some time. Considering the cost of the alternatives, this is the only option I can consider. Has anyone tried it? -kkonstan
