I tried setting to undef instead of 0, but warning/notices are still
sent out by amavis. So I appear to have a problem with these settings
being overridden somewhere else(?)(or not understanding the right
settings to use) but I hope someone can still answer my other questions:
- Are there best practices advice about sender notifications?
-
- Looks like default is to have notifications ("warnings?") enabled for
attachments with banned file extensions. Doesn't this risk backscatter
problems when sender address is forged?
-
- I cannot find a way to disable them - tried setting these all to 0 but
no luck: $warnbadhsender $warnbannedsender $warn_offsite
-
- I'm having a very hard time finding documentation on any of those
settings, what exactly they do - where can I find that?
-
- Also, is there a place to customize the message body (and possibly
headers) for these notifications ("warnings?")?

I don't think there is a way to check what the current active settings
are for amavisd-new (nothing like postconf -n) - including all
defaults - unfortunately. We can of course check our own settings with
something like: grep -r "warn" /etc/amavis/conf.d|grep -v "\s*#"
The defaults that I am aware of are:
$warnbannedsender = undef;
$warnbadhsender = undef;
$warn_offsite = undef;
$warnvirusrecip = undef;
$warnbannedrecip = undef;
$warnbadhrecip = undef;
I presume this means there are no warnings issued unless these
variables are set explicitly, and this isn't the case with ubuntu (or
I think debian) standard installations? Are you sure that warnings are
being issued by amavisd-new on your system?

Thank you for your great product.
