MailScanner is a generic scanner for use by [MTA]s, intended to drive a spam filter and a virus scanner. It is  written in [Perl] and can be set up with at least SendMail and [Exim].

It usually comes packaged for use with the SpamAssassin spam filter. Plug VipulsRazor into SpamAssassin and [ClamAV] into MailScanner, and you have a complete [Free] anti virus and spam proxy solution - always a good thing to equip an enterprise mail server with.

If you want to pay someone to do all this for you, there's a product called OpenProtect, which integrates MailScanner, SpamAssassin and [ClamAV] into an easily installable bundle.

If you're using Exim, you can do most of this directly, and don't really need the overhead of MailScanner.  See EximMailFilter.
