Hi all:

I have 2 DMZ mail servers (FC4 / Postfix / Amavis / SA) that relay to
an internal mail server.
The internal mail server traditionally has been handling all the
filtering / SA rules, etc.
I want to shift that burden to the mail gateways in the DMZ.

Question:
Do you set up master.cf to use amavisd only (and it will call spamd)?
Do you daisy chain them together?
([AMaViS] in:10025 | out:10026 [SPAMD] in:10026 out:10027) ???
Or - should I be using a 'smtp_proxy' as content filter and point that
at amavisd?

I want them to let amavisd do all the pre-processing before allowing
mail to enter the queue.  (So I'll assume that it runs it's own
checks, scans for virus, if pass - then off to regex land and calls to
spamc)

For the mail that remains, allow it into the queue and let postfix run
it's own header / body mime checks, etc and finish by delivering to
the internal mail server.

Advice? Ideas? Direction?

Thanks.
-Peter
[example master.cf from the DMZ] *that I don't think will work as I
envisage. :-)
