This is outdated and there is advice that is no longer accurate (because etch is now stable) but if you care to spend the time to read it it will help you understand the mess the Debian packagers made with 2.3.3: http://www200.pair.com/mecham/spam/debian-amavisd-new_2.3.3.html As far as bypassing spam and virus checks goes (provided you start amavisd-new with '/etc/init.d/amavis start' and not 'amavisd-new start'): in /usr/share/amavis/conf.d/20-package spam and virus checks are disabled (Debian default): http://www200.pair.com/mecham/debian/20-package to re-enable them you have to uncomment the settings in /etc/amavis/15-content_filter_mode http://www200.pair.com/mecham/debian/2.4.2/15-content_filter_mode If you ever upgrade to etch, you can install the Debian amavisd-new 2.4.2 package, then get rid of the Debian package (but keep your config files): http://www200.pair.com/mecham/spam/amavisd-new-etch-migration.html Note that installing the amavisd-new 2.4.2 package on a sarge machine may upgrade libc6 (and possibly the kernel) and you could end up with a broken system.
