Hi All
Where do I direct comments for documentation ...
I recently setup a so far succesful Mail Server with a combination of
postfix, Amavisd, SpamAssassin,ClamAV
and courier Maildrop,
I have come accross a few caveats ... some for amavisd-new ...
for the default smtp-amavis the use max is set to 2 and overriddenby
usemax=20 when the default max for any of these postfix transports is 100
...
This was confusing .. seemingly postfix works on the lowest setting (2 in
this case).
I have a busy mail server that at times handles about 15000 mails in the
queue ... 2 max processes for amavisd seems crazy to me ... the hardware is
pretty good hardware raid 3.2 gig Prescot HT (2MB cache) intel server board
2 gig RAM etc. ...
I pushed it up from the default 2 to 20 and it ticks over much better surely
this will be a better default to save admins setting up servers from getting
backlogged quese over night ... (I know I should probably look to more
hardware etc but 20 seems safer than 2).
On the next note ... amavisd-new is a great peice of software I plan to
deploy for a lot of clients .... keep up the great work guys ...
Thirdly ...without success I tried to set bypassing of scanning for a
specific user on my domains.
amavisd.conf as follows
@bypass_virus_checks_maps = ('[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
@bypass_spam_checks_maps = ('[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
@bypass_banned_checks_maps = ('[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
@bypass_header_checks_maps = ('[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
Am no perl expert by any stretch however all seems in order ... however this
seems to turn off scanning for all users as when I implemented it we did not
reject one spam message or virus the entire day ...
(usually about 3000 a day) ...
Any ideas appreciated.
As said above great work ... :) you guys really wipped the MailScanners A$$
Andrew
