Hi, Patrick
Using amavisd-milter is certainly an option that i did consider. and frankly,
it would have been a cleaner solution and possibly faster as well. However,
after looking at the projects home page and the overall activity (including
mailing lists), it felt like to me that it's not as active as one would have
hoped, And furthermore, it felt like a completely different project and not
really related much to the well known and maintained amavisd-new. smtp proxying
approach however, is well supported by amavisd-new and seems to be the
preferable method. so instead of running yet another (possibly risky) process
in between to talk to the amavisd, i decided to directly talk to it by using
smtp instead. but i still would like to secure it more by using unix sockets
instead of inet.
Best Regards,

Why not use the MILER sockets?
