The defaults are low only for non-virus and non-malware SaneSecurity hits. As such these can be considered false positives for a virus scanner. Actually there is a more practical reason: turning such report into a spam report gives SpamAssassin a chance to save a couple of messages from being SaneSecurity false positives. It is much preferred to add few rules (as suggested in RELEASE_NOTES) to local.cf and let SpamAssassin deal with combining a SaneSecurity assessment with remaining SA rules. > the definition is there on amavisd.conf-default but > NOT on amavisd.conf.sample. > seems the problem is that i relied on amavisd.conf-sample being the > 'complete' conf file, and it missed some (at least this one is > confirmed) definitions. The amavisd.conf-default lists ALL settings (except a handful of them with complex defaults, which are only noted there). The amavisd.conf-sample is pretty much out of date, I keep it only because it may still provide some ideas. The amavisd.conf in the distribution is a bare-essentials file, as noted at its beginning: # a minimalistic configuration file for amavisd-new with all # necessary settings # see amavisd.conf-default for a list of all variables with their defaults; # see amavisd.conf-sample for a traditional-style commented file; # for more details see documentation in INSTALL, README_FILES/* # and at http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/amavisd-new-docs.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
