I don't know anything about ISPConfig but I suspect that the reason is that it isn't all that popular.

Uh, ok. ;) ---- it's not really a beta...it's just his cycle for things and the 4.66 which he still classifies as Beta has fixes for the recent perl-Mail-Tools (or was it perl-Mime-Tools?) which would break what he classifies as 'stable' ---- > > Do you know of any setup/howto's for setting up Postfix with > MailScanner/amavisd such as you suggested? ---- The last time I played with amavisd-new, I hated it so I stay with MailScanner...there is ample info on setup on their web site, including integration with Postfix (or Sendmail) http://www.mailscanner.info/ Craig
