The old code was completely rewritten ages ago, it was inefficient
and unuseable with any sort of volume.
In the long run the best thing to do would be to change things to allow
use of the amavis LDAP schema and be done with it. Otherwise you could
edit the source and replace all occurences of the standard attribute
with your desired attibute, ex ( amavisSpamLover -> my_attr ):
$ grep amavisSpamLover /usr/local/sbin/amavisd
unshift(@Amavis::Conf::spam_lovers_maps, $lf->('amavisSpamLover',
'B-'));
@ldap_attrs = qw(amavisVirusLover amavisSpamLover amavisBannedFilesLover
would become:
unshift(@Amavis::Conf::spam_lovers_maps, $lf->('my_attr',
'B-'));
@ldap_attrs = qw(amavisVirusLover my_attr amavisBannedFilesLover
and then test before using.
