The original amavis is not well supported AFAIK. However, it has a descendant amavisd-new which is actively developed and supported. <http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/> I don't know mailscanner, but amavisd-new is a much more efficient approach for a mailserver, especially at ISP level. The two main differences are 1) Spamassassin (and clamav) get run once per incoming mail, not once for every recipient, and 2) amavisd-new runs as a daemon, so Spamassassin only has to be compiled in Perl once instead of once per incoming message. > Anyone who uses above solutions? *Lots* of mailservers use amavisd-new, including many ISPs and 3rd party mail providers, FWIW. -- Clifton -- Clifton Royston -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] President - I and I Computing * http://www.iandicomputing.com/ Custom programming, network design, systems and network consulting services
