What about, who came first, the chicken or the egg?

Well, I would'nt wanna start a holy war. However, I am very happy with
McAfee's Virus scanner running on my mail server. The reason we shopped
and decided upon mcafee was maintainance. Sophos releases a new binary
which should replace the older every 3 months. However, we
were most impressed by RAV. If you are protecting 1/2 domians, RAV has
the best protection I have seen so far. But it licensing is domain based
which for a MTA serving arond 30 domains becomes really expensive.

PS - So far not even 1 W32/Sircam has passed through successfully
through our mail server. (*touch-wood*)

My 2 cents.
