Thanks for all the responses.

I went with qmail+clamav and spamassassin, it seems to be working fine
for the moment, i do however get some strange log activity sometimes:

clamdscan: corrupt or unknown clamd scanner error or memory/resourc
e/perms problem - exit status 512/2

I've been googlin a bit and havent found a "real" solution to the problem.
Someone suggested running clamd as root, is that really a good idea?
Another suggested to remove clamd_scanner from the scanner_array in
qmail-scanner-queue.pl.

The box has 1GB RAM an, so i assume its not a memory problem (checked
ramusage while that error popped up in the logs)

resource/perms problem, how can i check which resources it needs
and/or which permissions are needed?

// Thanks in advance
