Spamassassin, spamd or spamc?". It loads the Mail::SpamAssassin Perl module into memory. Like spamd, amavisd-new is daemonized, so it is fast. > Another qiestion is: "Can I configure Amavisd-new to use spamc? (It should > be more effecient to analyze messages.. Or no?) Using spamc is not a configuration option, and because amavisd-new has the ability to cache previous results, it is faster than using spamc. If you wanted to use spamc/spamd, you would configure amavisd-new to not perform any spam checks at all, then use spamc/spamd outside of amavisd-new. > 2) I have the default 'local.cf' configuration file for SA.

Yes, but this may have already happened without user intervention. > Do I use a particular mailbox user to initialize a db? Not a mailbox user, your amavisd user. If you amavisd-new user is 'vscan': su vscan -c 'sa-learn --sync' will create the Bayes database if one does not exist. The Bayes files should be located somewhere like /var/amavis/.spamassassin (the .spamassassin directory of the home directory of your amavisd-new user). > Can I share the db for all incoming/outgoing mail, apart > from user? One database is used for all mail that passes through amavisd-new, the data belongs to your amavisd-new user (probably 'vscan' or 'amavis'). > BR, > rocsca Gary V ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl _______________________________________________ AMaViS-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/amavis-user AMaViS-FAQ:http://www.amavis.org/amavis-faq.php3 AMaViS-HowTos:http://www.amavis.org/howto/
