For those who are interested,  
the Djigzo VMware virtual appliance can be easily converted and installed under Proxmox virtual environment (KVM)  
[http://www.proxmox.com/products/proxmox-ve](http://www.proxmox.com/products/proxmox-ve).

One only needs to:  
- create a virtual machine using Proxmox GUI,  
- delete the file created in the VM folder (for example, if new VM number is 100, then the folder is /var/lib/vz/images/100)  
- convert original vmdk file to raw format using Proxmox utility  
(for example, qemu-img convert -f vmdk djigzo.vmdk -O raw /var/lib/vz/images /100/vm-100-disk-1 .raw)  
- start VM as usual.  
In our tests it runs with no problems.

For what is worth, we at SIG (thanks to Martijn) have successfully deployed Djigzo as an instance (Ubuntu12.04) in our AWS VPC; our mail server (Kerio Connect, running on premises) forwards all outbound emails to the gateway which in turn filters for specific attachments and quarantine the emails that do not pass; then sending a notification to the sender. It's our cost-effective DLP system (and it will be expanded to included S/MIME encryption soon). If someone wants some tips, I can share our setup here.

cheer  
Alessandro
