I have successfully integrated WithSecure (F-Secure for Bussiness)
Scanner a few weeks ago. Integration was done using the cmdline
interface. I have a small shell script that does some additional
analysis/logging but basically, I just use

  WITHSECURE_SOCKET = cmdline:\
                       /opt/f-secure/linuxsecurity/bin/fsanalyze %s:\
                       result=(infected|suspected):\
                       infection=([^ ]*)


There are still some few mails only recognized by KLMS. I think you can
always find a thread that is first recognized by one engine and only
later by others. Also I had to tune the WithSecure settings a bit about
archives.

Getting WithSecure installed on our servers was the harder part. Let me
know, if you need help there.

Best,
