Rascan is a rewrite of Inter7's simscan_ and will provide you with the following:

* Will (optionally) check for virus using ClamAV_

* Will (optionally) pass your mail through SpamAssassin_

* Will (optionally) add a footer to your messages using altermime_

The goals of this project are:

* Make it more runtime configurable, instead of having so many compile-time
  options.

* Make it simpler, removing functionality I didn't use

* Add a little extra, specifically a chance to add footers to messages using
  altermime

* Make it use bstrlib_'s string routines, because programming C I am a chicken.

To use rascan, you need a qmail installation with the QMAILQUEUE and 
qmail-queue-custom-error patches.
	  
The latest version is 0.1.0_ and you can consider it alpha quality. 
(See Changelog_, See manpage_).
