Thanks, I forgot about it. It doesn't sound appealing, having
to transfer all uncompressed mail parts to another host,
so I doubt it is worth implementing. It is more efficient
to just transfer the original message over SMTP, moving
the entire amavisd along with clamd to another host.

Yes, certainly, it takes SMTP on the inside, and feeds SMTP
on the outside, so it can be on any host, just like moving a MTA.

Certainly.

Adjust $inet_socket_bind, @inet_acl, $forward_method and $notify_method,
and on the Postfix side let content_filter feed to a remote host,
and allow smtpd on port 10025 to accept filtered mail back from that host.


amavisd.conf-default:

## MTA INTERFACE - INPUT
# $inet_socket_bind = '127.0.0.1';
# @inet_acl = qw( 127.0.0.1 [::1] );

## MTA INTERFACE - OUTPUT
## MAIL FORWARDING
# $forward_method = 'smtp:[127.0.0.1]:10025';

## NOTIFICATIONS (DSN, admin, recip)
# $notify_method = 'smtp:[127.0.0.1]:10025';
