Depends how often you want to keep restarting it. My time at Barracuda taught me to steer clear of Amavis. 'Captain Crash' was its nickname. I appreciate that you, Ralf, love it and say it scales well. I respect that but it's not my experience. In the Barracuda boxes running it (handling large volumes into the millions of messages a day area) it was one of three common points of failure. I'm happy to steer clear of it but It's good that it works for you. Having done a little reading I was not keen on the spamd option. I've opted to play with this following a list suggestion; SpamAssassin Milter Plugin (http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/spamass-milt/)
