So, to make a dedicated server to test viruses using amavis and clamav have to install them together. Because the virus check just in the names of the files does not make sense. And as Michel said, the additional overhead with tcp stream show delays, reconnects and other issues that make tcp stream not a viable alternative for amavisd. But after reading all this: postfix receives the messages and pass to the amavis. Adding this in main.cf: content_filter = SMTP-amavis: [192.168.2.188]: 10024 As the content of the message is passed for amavis in host 192.168.2.188? where i found more details about this? thanks for explanations.
