But, IIRC, amavis forks a new spamassasin in the backgroung for each
message, so, this is almost the same ?
No, amavisd-new runs as a daemon and is written in perl. It loads the
Mail::Spamassassin perl module at starttime. No external process is started
(besides the virus scanner not speaking smtp).
well,
this is not actually true if $bypass_decode_parts is not defined it does
run external programs to extract the mime content and pass it to the
antivirus.
I believe the heavier thing is that it runs file(1) on each part to
determine the filetype, but i believe this can be easily replaced by
File::MMagic perl module (if i am able to test it successfully will
forward a patch upstream)
