The only time i thought amavis is hard to install/configure was the first time i had to deal with the app. Reading through the docs is not a bad idea.
postfix + spamassassin + clamd won't be easier to setup nor it will offer the things that amavis can. Well unless you can't care less about DKIM or having several scanners etc. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Zoet" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, February 1, 2010 6:52:52 PM Subject: Re: Mail Server ... > filtering proxy, but maybe this person > is trying to migrate away from exchange...

You can setup postfix + spamassassin + clamd WITHOUT amavisd. That makes the life a lot more easier. In this way you must only configure SpamAssassin and ClamAV by hand, but that is not as difficult as using Amavis. Amavis is a painful package that no one really needs. (IMHO) By the way the questions have been asked 1 or 2 weeks before on a different thread on this list. I'm not so sure if the original post was meant serious. If they are meant serious: as someone mentioned in the previous thread getting the hands dirty is the only way to get this up. Regardless if you are using a GUI or something else for configuration. Even the "buy & click" Exchange server will not work without planning the installation. And thinking there is an easy way to exchange an Exchange server with Ubuntu, is wrong. Learning by reading and doing is the only way things will work. Just my 2 cent.
