Mailscanner on FreeBSD…

…running on Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 appears to be the leanest implementation of my favorite Internet email filter solution.

• The Fedora Core 4 based solution still has more features. I haven’t been able to get the free command line BitDefender scanner to run on FreeBSD yet.
• The smaller RAM/CPU footprint of the FreeBSD solution means more flexibility for where it is deployed.

This approach should be worth the effort of more testing.
