Yup, it came through just fine. I've added just a couple of notes below,
hopefully others will have more suggestions!

I'd add another section that talks about what ClamAV is... You seem to
jump right into the guts of things, but I think it would help to have an
overview of what Qmail, Qmail-Scanner and ClamAV do...

What is Maildrop? Where can people get it from? Are there Debian, RedHat
(etc) packages? What are the names of the packages?

They were created by Jesse D. Guardiani, and can be found in his
clamd+daemontools HOWTO.
What license are they released under? Do you have permission to
distribute
them as part of your own document?

Appendix C lists all of the locations on where you can get Maildrop and
all of the other software. As for rpm, deb, etc packages, I do not know
if they are available. I tried to stay away from the who binary thing,
because then it can get quite messy with dependencies. Also by not
including binary information, it makes the how to a little more system
independent. As for what Maildrop is, I brief description of what is
can be included.

Unfortunately, I do not know. I found his howto via a google groups
search. I'm going to try and email him to see if I can get his
permission and or license information. The other points are well taken,
and I will try to include that information. I'll let you know if I can
get a hold of him.
