Heh, sent that before finishing my thoughts.
It would be nice if the module could be updated to use a backend
that is actually FOSS, rather than one encumbered with hostile
licensing, such as LMDB.
There is currently the LMDB_File perl module for this purpose. I
don't know if it will or will not suit the purposes of the amavisd
snmp subagent, as I haven't looked in depth how amavisd uses the
BerkeleyDB module.
Have you had a look at zmq support in amavisd?
$enable_db = 0;
$enable_zmq = 1;
Once you have that in place, you can run the newer
amavisd-snmp-subagent-zmq agent in combination with amavis-mc:
Ah perfect, thanks. I didn't realize you could use one over the other. :)
