Dear Users, I'm building a simple pair of front MX-servers to get rid of our cisco ironports. For spam and virus-scanning i'd like to have spamassassin and clamav doing pre-filtering during smtp-dialog rejecting bad mails and forwarding good mails to internal mail-farm.
Is it best practice to use amavis in between postfix and clamd/spamasassin? i would like to keep the setup as simple as possible and not having another component in place (amavis) when this can be avoided. I see the internet is full of setups with amavis but i dont see the reason for having another software running. What is your opinion? thank you. Stefan
