gmax, I want to add a postscript signature (something like: This email was checked by Amavisd-new) to every email we process. Is there a standard hook/feature for this ? No there isn't. It is not straightforward to do so, amavisd is geared towards ensuring the mail body stays unchanged even

Where does the file utility reside? Is it in one of directories listed in your $path variable in amavisd.conf? A usual setting is: $path = '/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin'; P.S. if you prefer to keep $path empty, you may explicitly specify (amavisd.conf) where
