Seems like 2.4.2-1 Debian packages is around the corner. Don't know much about Debian, but Gary V gave good advise on a number of occasions about Debian packages, search the archive. > And is there anyone using amavisd-new in combination with sendmail + > amavisd-new-milter and could give some feedback (stability, performance > or howtos links etc.). I only test it briefly, trying to spot the most obvious troubles. Not many people use it in production, although some do. If you need header editing, you must use Petr Rehor's milter instead of the one supplied with the amavisd-new package. > It seems, that most people using amavisd-new with > postfix or sendmail dual configuration.

It is a pre-queue filtering setup, and suffers from its general deficiencies (but also has some advantages, like being able to reject mail). One does not have control on the host load, so a mail burst can bring a mailer to its knees - which is not the case with a post-queue filtering setup. May be fine for a smaller site, but I would advise against such setup in a large installation. Also, amavisd-new is not able to split mail if it turns out that different recipients in a multi-recipient message would need different header edits. And usefulness of policy banks is limited. There may be some corner cases where nobody cared to sort them out (like excluding notifications from being scanned again). Why don't you try switching to Postfix, you may like it ;) Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
