If a > multi-recipient mail is passed from the frontend MTA to amavisd-new, and this I believe that is one of the warnings about using SA/amavisd-new in a prequeue filter. Consider the other problems of different users with different policies (attachment, spam, header, whitelists, blacklists, quarantine, etc) If your goal is to reduce the overhead on SA/amavisd-new, try using one RBL in prequeue. If you want to block viruses, use clamscan- clamav, in milter for clamav. Eliminate or restrict body/and raw rules. Use header rules. Use sa-compile to compile the perl scripts. Use newest SA, and use sa-update. Make sure, 100% of all of your installations keep an updated user list and bounce email to unknown users and domains you don't relay for. If you are worried about backscatter (and wanted to bounce all spam in the smtp session), use something other than sa/amavisd-new combination. Set final destination discard to prevent you producing backscatter. -- Michael Scheidell, CTO >|SECNAP Network Security Winner 2008 Network Products Guide Hot Companies FreeBSD SpamAssassin Ports maintainer _________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned and certified safe by SpammerTrap(r).
