Ricky,

MailScanner was previously used in Mailborder. However, I rewrote the code =
base in Mailborder v5 that no longer included MailScanner. So, Mailborder i=
s now MailScanner-ish. The various Perl requirements and constant changes w=
ere a pain to manage on a commercial basis. So, I rewrote everything in C a=
nd PHP for Mailborder v5. If you want to discuss Mailborder at some point, =
I would be happy to do so.

As far as commercial support for MailScanner, Baruwa is the only platform t=
hat I know of. I don=92t know how good or responsive they are these days.  =
Shawn Iverson has EFA, but I am not sure if he does commercial support. May=
be he will chime in. I still hold and maintain the MailScanner project, but=
 Shawn Iverson does all of the code maintenance for the last few years.

Subject: Commercial support for MailScanner
My apologies if this is not the appropriate forum for this.

I have been asked by my organization's management to determine if
there are options for commercial support for MailScanner and some of
the immediate dependencies (e.g., SpamAssassin).  I am aware of
Mailborder and Baruwa's offerings, and while I plan on reaching out,
the customization and flexibility I have with the core system and its
dependencies leaves me somewhat reserved with what I may no longer be
able to do with their solutions.

Is anyone aware of a commercial support offering that focuses on the
MailScanner open source project and some of the immediate
dependencies?  I feel that directly reaching out to specific
individuals with the project would not be appropriate, but I'm trying
to determine viable options.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts or recommendations.
