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.
