I'd recommend to use postfix as SMTP gateway.
So I would I now... ;)) Do you think the solution mentioned in the German Linux-Magazin in June this year by Micheal Wiesmer is favourable?!?
You mean http://www.linux-magazin.de/ausgabe/2001/06/Amavis/amavis.html, yes? :-) (it's a very well written article, btw :)) Well, amavis-perl/amavisd works very well with postfix (for obvious reasons, as Lars and myself use only/mainly postfix). amavisd is faster, as forking a child is faster than creating a new perl process for every mail. For speed reasons I'd suggest to use a virus scanning daemon, such as Kaspersky kavdaemon or Sophie for Sophos Sweep. Please see the amavis-user ML archive for details here. Alternatives are i.e. avcheck, which was "designed" for use with kavdaemon or H+BEDV AntiVir, Trend InterScan VirusWall or Sophos new SMTP-scanner (the latter ones can all be configured to use postfix content_filter method, i.e. listening on port 10025 to receive the mails from postfix and sending non-infected mails back to to postfix via port 10026). But I haven't tried out the new Sophos product with postfix yet.
