Hello all
Is it possible to have a configuration for amavisd + SA
(no virus checking) without writing to disk.
I noticed that TEMPDIR is rather very used for writing the
whole email + its attachements.
I am interested in this option because i have only one
machine and some other hosted services on it.
Thanks a lot
You can disable amavisd-new unpacking the mail, and/or you
can set $TEMPBASE to a tmpfs or ramdisk so that it doesn't
actually use the disk if you have plenty of RAM. You can't
disable writing the mail completely.
To use a tmpfs, see:
http://www.stahl.bau.tu-bs.de/~hildeb/postfix/amavisd_tmpfs.shtml
To skip unpacking the mail, see the following comments from
amavisd.conf-sample:
# set $bypass_decode_parts to true if you only do spam
scanning, or if you
# have a good virus scanner that can deal with compression
and recursively
# unpacking archives by itself, and save amavisd the trouble.
# Disabling decoding also causes banned_files checking to
only see
# MIME names and MIME content types, not the content
classification types
# as provided by the file(1) utility.
# It is a double-edged sword, make sure you know what you
are doing!
#
#$bypass_decode_parts = 1; # (defaults to false)
