What 's the difficulty with writing antivirus software work work easily with
sendmail? All it has to do is front-end procmail - instead of having sendmail
use procmail, it uses a component of the antivirus software, and that does
its thing and calls procmail (or other LDA) for delivery.
I don 't know about exim, qmail, postfix etc as I 've never used them.
