The client/server part is pretty clear - that's not what I wanted to be changed. I'm running amavisd-new mostly on dedicated (v)Servers, receiving mail from front MX servers (not on the same host), and forwarding it to internal relay servers. Each MTA and each filter instance has it's own hostname and ip - and their HELO's are matching them. I agree that localhost is a safe option if amavisd-new is running on the very same host as the MTA is running on. In larger setups this is not the case, so having this configurable would be great - don't you think so?
