Speaks SMTP (or LMTP) natively, no need for spawning spamc or a sendmail-program, avoids additional mail contents transfers. Calls SpamAssassin once per message, regardless of a number of recipients of a message (average factor of 1.5x speedup for free!) Controlled host load based on a fixed number of content filtering processes. DKIM signing; DKIM or DomainKeys verification (regardless of mail size or per-user bypassing of spam checks, i.e. even for mail not passed to SpamAssassin) pen-pals soft whitelisting; reliable bounce killer (does not kill bounces to our genuine mail) mouss wrote: > amavisd-new can also take decisions: block, quarantine, redirect, ... > (spamassassin doesn't care about delivery: it is here to classify the > message). > See http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/#features Thanks. I have just updated and face-lifted that section a bit.
