>> We have installed and configured MIIMEsweeper at a few sites now. The
>> lag time is minimal for 95% of e-mail traffic. It really does fly
>> through the system if the system is configured with enough memory and
>> disk space. Obviously the larger the attachment for unravelling the
>> longer it takes. This is marginal in terms of the overall delivery time
>> of e-mail generally. 
>> 
>> As for configuration, the position of MIMEsweeper for the sites we have
>> consulted in is directly behind the firewall in front of the SMTP
>> gateway(s) for the corporation. For the most part the configuration is
>> virus scanning, User authentication and automatic replies set for
>> certain mail captured i.e. Virus detect, Unreadable data, User not
>> authorised etc...
>> 
>> Users will not see the delay unless of course their e-mail is
>> quarantined or bounced.
