For anyone who cares, I spent a day testing the above Postfix snapshot with amavisd-new and the Mail::SpamAssassin 2.60-CVS libraries. This is an advanced Postfix setup, with full (MD5, GSSAPI, OTP etc) SASL/LDAP-based SMTP AUTH and full TLS support.

What's new about it, is that Postfix/amavisd-new - with this snapshot - can now do realtime smtp 5xx rejection of spam/virus (or save them to a quarantine directory, as before.) That lifts Postfix into SA-Exim 4's class as far as I'm concerned and I'm happy to be able to support it :-)

The snapshot doesn't depend on Amavis for this. Any similar product with Amavis' properties could be used as proxy. But the normal Postfix/SA filter routine wouldn't have the same possibilities as Amavis. I can't comment on spampd (that's spampd, not spamd) and although there's an updated version out, I haven't tested it with this setup. Nor have I looked at individual user settings - the above is for a site-wide setup.

The release version won't be announced for a few months yet, according to the Postfix developers, but anyone can download and configure the ingredients, as they become available.

Obviously SA 2.60-CVS continues to be SA 2.60-CVS - sublime and unbeatable.
