Yes, I'm running Postgrey with Amavis on FreeBSD. Works great. The short answer is that Postgrey plays nice with Amavis. The medium-length answer is that Postgrey simply becomes another check that is run. Postfix has a "policy service" hook that allows Postfix to consult with an outside program prior to accepting mail. This is a different process than the multi-queue system that Amavis uses, and the two co-exist nicely. Postgrey works more like the rbl checks than the multi-queue system that Amavis uses. The long answer is contained in the technical details of Postfix, and the Postfix source code, and I won't attempt to duplicate that here ;) -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
