I want to setup spamassassin + clamav + postfix.
good choice
Many internet guides use Amavisd to integrate them together.
this is the most common setup, it does not mean there is not any other
options
However, my vps has only 516mb
i have being there with freebsd 4.9 with just 256mb
ram so I dont want to install Amavisd unless its really recommended.
amavisd itself is not ram hungry, most ram usa is from clamd and
spamassasin perl usages
So would the setup work well without using Amavisd?
i would start seeing what is left after clamd is started
Would you recommend using Amavisd?
i would upgrade to 1024mb
and try using spampd and clamav-milter, spampd can be used as proxy in
postfix so you dont need an quarantine if harddisk space is small
but there is one caviat, proxy scanning limits speeds in postfix since
it queue up before in queue, later versions of postfix have better
support for proxy scanning
