since you brought this up...
http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/serve/cache/382.html
I haven't had problems with message duplication and/or delivery of
truncated messages but having fooled with these things, and survived
earlier versions of uw-imap, you learn to roll with the flow and how to
fix problems or get run over.
As for MailScanner, I'm using it on a few Postfix systems
and I also am quite used to Sendmail
I very much like the milter stuff - clamav-milter, spamass-milter and
greylist-milter and I am comfortable with Sendmail
I also like Postfix, think that in many ways, it makes more sense to me.
By having them to choose from - we are winners as they both can do the
job - albeit in slightly different ways.
MailScanner is very effective too.
