Markus,

What would the format of this 'include' be? What if the file does not exist?

dovecot.conf has a:

!include_try local.conf

For this purpose. This way, amavis.conf could ship with the ability to handle a local.conf instead of still needing one mod.

Hello Robert,

Or, you could manage a separate file, and have the main amavis.conf import the settings from that separate file at the very bottom (just above the 1;) of the amavis.conf.


This would mean you aren't dirtying up the amavis.conf.

The 'standard' practice for instructions for customizing amavis.conf have been to edit the file.

But after working on the roundcubemail php files, I think I have learned a 'better' way?

amavis.conf is processed sequentially and is all about setting a bunch of variables. Thus I *SHOULD* be able to just append my changes at the end instead of figuring out all the places to change.

One caveat with amavis.conf that I have not seen in other .conf files is the last line:

1;  # insure a defined return value

Again, nothing says this cannot occur more than once, so I *SHOULD* be able to end my variable settings append with that line.

This would make for a cleaner record of changes made, rather than remembering all the places that were changed. Also cleaner instructions in a howto.

thanks!
