Yes, you can do that. The config file is only read once during
startup, so there are issues with sharing it that I could think of.
For a few changed that may differ from one host to another,
you can either add some if .. elsif ... else logic inside
the common amavisd.conf file, perhaps based on a host name
or some other characteristics of the environment.
Another possibility is to add include_config_files('...')
somewhere, which would read some host-specific local file
where noncommon settings could be held.
Another option is to make use of the '-i name' option
on a command line. All it does is to store the supplied
string into a variable $instance_name, which is not used
by amavisd itself, but is visible to code in a config file,
so you could make conditional settings there, e.g.:
if ($instance_name eq 'test') {
$log_level = 1;
$max_servers = 2;
$enable_db = 0;
$unix_socketname = undef;
$inet_socket_port = [8888];
} elsif ($instance_name eq 'small') {
$max_servers = 10;
} else {
$max_servers = 20;
}
and start amavisd accordingly:
# amavisd -i small
or
# amavisd -i test
or just
# amavisd
