As has been stated multiple times, Amavisd-new does NOT use spamd. Just try out this little test, m'kay? Stop spamd. Don't restart it, just stop it. Now see if amavisd is still scanning for spam. What's that? It is? Whodathunkit! That's why you need to restart amavisd to reload changed config files.
You should stop spamd from starting automatically, as it is just a waste of resources since you are using amavisd-new. > -----Original Message----- > From: Leon Kolchinsky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 8:53 AM > To: Nigel Frankcom; users@spamassassin.apache.org > Subject: RE: optional score in local.cf is not working > > Hi, > > OK. > I did some manual tests and indeed changes in local.cf only > catching then I restart amavis. > > # /etc/init.d/amavis restart > Shutting down virus-scanner (amavisd-new):Daemon [9905] > terminated by SIGTERM > > done > Starting virus-scanner (amavisd-new): > done > > When I restart only spamd no change in local.cf is catching. > > > I don't really understand why? > > Mark Martinec said that "amavisd-new can't call spamd" > > So, let me get this straight: > ----------------------------- > This is how I see the work of amavis+spamd+clamd: > > 1.
