So you have to start a process for every single massage. That is wat I want to avoid. It is no problem while you are receiving only few messages per hour. But else, the overhead is to much. A daemon talking smtp is prefered (and that is waht amavisd-new does).
But, IIRC, amavis forks a new spamassasin in the backgroung for each message, so, this is almost the same ?
No, amavisd-new runs as a daemon and is written in perl. It loads the Mail::Spamassassin perl module at starttime. No external process is started (besides the virus scanner not speaking smtp).

I've currently packaged that here:
http://peoples.mandrakesoft.com/~ghibo/amavisd-new-0.20030616-1mdk.src.rpm
But, before posting to contrib, I'm currently trying to find how to modify amavisd.conf so that:
- local "recipient" users is warned about receiving virus mail (with virus ID) - sender is warned about sending a mail with virus, but only if sender is relaying from LAN (it's a nonsense to warn non-local sender because 99.9% in case of virus, the sender is fake). - let spam pass to users (but with X-Spam-Status) and at the same time collect all the recognized spam to a repository for further bayes learning.
Any quick hints welcome...
Furthermore I still need to add a %post script so to set $mydomain in /etc/amavisd.conf.
Bye. Giuseppe.
