Actually, I am using Amavis with postfix, and I can tell you a couple of things. 1. with postfix setup is easy as.... 2. It will work with perl 5.6.0 its just that CPAN tries to upgrade perl for you, I downloaded the 6 perl modules manually and installing them manually and it worked flawlessly on standard 7.2mdk perl 5.6.0 3. It has run flawlessly since I set it up, no reboot nothing, it uses buggar all memory until you send something through. 4. The perl modules are there to enable among other things to do decompression of different compressed file types, I think that you will not find too many applications that will scan as many compressed file types as amavisd. I used to use sendmail on our networks for ages, thought I'd try Postfix for the speed and security implications.. never looked back, it works with all our cgi scripts just like sendmail did, the aliases are even the same, and most of the sendmail commands will work as well... and since postfix supports content filtering without a milter and a compile, why not use it? I haven't looked back, (postfix is very easy to setup and their mailing list is one of the busiest I am on, and they are all really helpful.) why not use it? rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Dave Horsfall Sent: Tuesday, 14 August 2001 3:07 PM To: Gary A.

Yeah; I'm using it with Amavis... It works by dissecting the mail into its attachments, unzipping etc where necessary, then handing the bits over to third-party scanners such as McAfee UVscan. However, it's a royal pain to set up, and wants all sorts of Perl modules (and Perl 5.6.01) and hand-tweaks to Sendmail. In short, not the stuff I'd want running if I'm not around to keep an eye on it. -- Dave Horsfall ATM-B VK2KFU [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ph: +61 2 9906 3377 Fx: 9906 3468 (Unix Guru) Pacific ESI, Unit 22, 8 Campbell St, Artarmon, NSW 2065, Australia
