Thanks to Noel (and to the Postfix community in general) for the guidance, my mail gateway is now running (still in test mode), together with spamassassin, clamav and amavis-new.

Now, one more thing:

Since this is just a relay, mail is not stored locally; yet, I would like to train spamassassin (if that makes any sense! - any advice/experience on spamassassin training?) which requires local directories of spam and non-spam. So I was thinking I should configure postfix/spamassassin to keep local copies of spam (to be also available for checking using IMAP) and non-spam mail so as to make training feasible.

Another option is to disable spamassassin entirely on the gateway server and install/use it on the internal (final) mail server (used as outgoing gateway and internal POP/IMAP).

At the moment, I would prefer to use the former approach, as it fits better in our current mail receiving "architecture".

Any advice?

Also, to disable sending outgoing mails from this server (which is only there to receive mail from the Internet as MX-designated mail server and work as a local relay to internal mail server) I am planning to use the setting:

   mynetworks  = <empty>

Would this have any impact on the relay role of the server; which means: would relaying of relay_domains as defined in transport_maps be inhibited in any way)? I believe no, but I am asking, just in case?

Thanks,
Nick
