Sendmail is also included and I believe the default. Both are solid programs.

Clamav and if you choose Sendmail as your MTA you can also use clamav-milter Spam - spamassassin and if you choose Sendmail as your MTA, you can also use spamass-milter I very much like Mailscanner as the master to invoke the virus/spam scanning. It's probably most helpful to use something like MailScanner or amavis-new or mime-defang as the master mail filter manager. Good luck Craig
