Where can I find documentation on all the settings of the amavis-new configuration file. The only documentation I can find is about how to set it up with postfix in README.postfix. There are some comments in the configuration file, but not clear enough for me to understand what each setting does. Since I don't quite understand how amvisd-new works it would be useful to know what each setting does. That way it will be easier to migrate my settings over to amavisd-new as much as it is possible.
