I've done a few searches and don't really turn up anything - so my apologies if this is an "old" already answered question. [If you could point me in the right direction for the discussion somewhere that would be nice...]
So, here's what I want, and I'm not sure how best to go about it. Platform: Ubuntu with postfix, and dovecot. Currently we use spampd [pre-accept spam-assassin filtering] I'd been thinking of going to/adding amavis-new, since I could also do attachment scanning, and quarantine etc. But I don't want to give up "pre-accept" spam filtering since it's so effective. I've seen suggestions for using amavis as a pre-accept filter, and turning off the AV scanning. [But this defeats some substantial purpose of running amavis in the first place.] I've also seen warnings about using amavis as a pre-accept filter, since messages can be completely lost. [And this is a large issue for any servers I run; we *really* want to minimize the possibility of losing messages.] So, what's the "best way" to handle this: I've thought about continuing to use spampd for pre-accept filtering, and then amavis again as a post-accept filter. [I suppose I'd want to turn off the SA portion of amavis then, since that would be already getting done with spampd.] But perhaps this is all the really wrong way to go about it. [Hardly an unlikely possibility! :) ] So, suggestions, warnings, or a point at a walk-through somewhere would be useful? TIA! -Greg
