You also have to consider quarantines. When virus/banned/spam/bad_header is found, there will be an attempt to send a copy of the mail to the respective quarantines. If not configured, the default local quarantines will be used. If you are not aware of this, you could fill up your hard drive with quarantined items. $virus_quarantine_to, $banned_quarantine_to $bad_header_quarantine_to, $spam_quarantine_to For spam, if you set $sa_kill_level_deflt to a very high level (9999.9), it is nearly impossible for anything to get copied to the spam quarantine. For banned/bad_header, as long as you are using D_PASS (which insures an attempt will be made to deliver the mail to the recipient), you should disable quarantines. $banned_quarantine_to = undef; $bad_header_quarantine_to = undef; Think of the final_*_destiny and *_quarantine_to settings as sets. For viruses, you can decide to quarantine, or if you never want to have to maintain a load of infected messages, also set: $virus_quarantine_to = undef; You should also make a decision whether you wish to defang banned files: $defang_banned = 1; (this is probably a good idea). If you filter on the header, don't forget use $sa_tag_level_deflt and/or $sa_tag2_level_deflt to define what you consider Spam to be. (along with $sa_spam_subject_tag) Along with the examples and descriptions in amavisd.conf-sample, as I mentioned in another recent post, you may find this link informative: http://www200.pair.com/mecham/spam/amavisd-settings.html I can't answer your procmail question, but based on your comments it appears that you are already using it successfully.
