Yes, that looks about right, if you insist on passing mail through pipes instead of the more universal SMTP. > I have set it in amavisd.conf, but got an error like: > > 2007-06-27 17:33:18 1I3ZWA-0002Qq-A0 <= <> U=vscan P=scanned-ok S=13352 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > 2007-06-27 17:33:18 1I3ZWA-0002Qq-A0 ** [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Too > many "Received" headers - suspected mail loop It looks as if mail got caught in a loop. The key issue is that MTA must know that a message coming from amavisd via $forward_method or $notify_method must not be scanned again. How to achieve this depends on MTA, and I don't know much about Exim, sorry. Seems like the presence of '-oMr scanned-ok' on a command line and an associated conditional in MTA config should take care of it. I believe you know you ways around Exim better than most folks on this mailing list do. Btw, since you are using exim 4.*, passing messages between MTA and amavisd through SMTP is easier than with previous versions, and is a preferred method, allowing a content filter to pass more informative status messages back to MTA.
