If you download MailScanner to try it out, or even better if you start using it on your site, please let us know by dropping us a line so we have some idea of where it is being used.
There is a mailing list for MailScanner users. The developers also keep an eye on it, so it's a good place to suggest new features, problems, questions, etc. But please remember there are limits to the time that can be spent on unpaid support. If you need more specific help, please read about our professional support options.
If you only want to hear announcements of new versions, then I suggest you subscribe to the project at FreshMeat. You can access the mailing list on the web, or you can subscribe by sending an email to jiscmail@jiscmail.ac.uk containing
Before posting questions to us or the mailing list, please search the list archives and read the Installation FAQ.
We have an ongoing usage survey. If you use MailScanner on your site, please can you email us the number of messages processed by MailScanner each day. We don't need to know the number of viruses found, or anything like that, just the number of email messages that MailScanner scans each day. Thankyou!

Released new unstable beta version 4.25. I didn't think it was worth doing a full release, there is some new code that provides support for LDAP directory servers, and this code has not been thoroughly tested yet. See the ChangeLog for details on what else is new in this release. | |

Due to the nature of this software, I have an interest in the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act which has just come into force in the United Kingdom. Under section 3(3) of the Act, I believe that this sort of interception is legal, but care must be taken to ensure that no-one other than the sender and intended recipient of any message can read any part of that message. This certainly includes infected attachments.
