>>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.
