FWIW, I'm running sendmail, clamav, spamassassin, mimedefang, and
Slackware 8.1 (with patches and Linux kernel 2.4.21) on my headless
K6-200 box here at home and it does a d*** fine job, thank you. I'll admit
that I had to learn a few things, but after only a few days tweaking it's
as smooth as prom date's thigh (remember those?). I can highly
recommend the combo, with one slight caveat: ClamAV does nightly
updates of the virus database, and sometimes their server isn't always
available. I don't know if it's too many hits or what. Otherwise, if you
want help on these, I'm here.
