Mostly for the archive, a copy of my answer on the postfix list. See also README.postfix for details. Everyone seems to use LMTP to connect to amavis, but is there a good reason for this? Does SMTP offer something better? SMTP is simpler and faster. The only reason to use LMTP is to allow

Valli, There's only one disadvantage: One must be aware of these changes in the source code during a software update! Therefore my feature request: Would it be possible to enable this currently hidden feature via amavisd.conf? I added it on a TODO list. Mark

Jochen, With Amavisd-new, Postfix and SpamAssassin on Debian, using a BEFORE-QUEUE setup (i.e. dual SMTPD) I would like to achieve the following: 1. If (spam score = tag2_level) Then Deliver mail to the 2nd SMTPD (localhost:10025) immediately 2. If (tag2_level = spam score = kill_level)

Hi. We've been using amavis for http://www.uucpssh.org/ for a while and we're pretty happy about it. Something I'd thought for a while is to offer users the possibility for users to handle their own bayesian database for their domains. I understand this is not doable on a system wide

Download (with ldap) a list of current valid email addresses, 'portmap' them. Add a pointer to the db in postfix's main.cf to handle MOST of the email addresses, only do ldap queries on email addresses that don't exist in the postmap'ed relay db. For dictionary attacks, drop the connection after

From Gary V: I personally find it better to keep the threshold high, tolerate what comes in, and forget about what goes in the spam bin. I think it's more efficient. If I get repetitive spam, I act on it with a custom rule or content filter, or IP address reject, whatever I think might be
