This is fine. You can do this as an alternate to volatile. >I checked that file "15-content_filler_mode" and I have some lines >there but they're all commented out.

What you are not understanding is that you can do what you want. It is generally recommended to place your setting overrides in 50-user, but it is not mandantory (and on a rare occasion, not the best option for some settings). I think the idea behind splitting up one config file into multiple files was to aide with upgrades. If the Debian installer detects that you have not modified a given config file, it will assume it can replace it with a new version. This may make it easier for the package maintainers to perform upgrades. If you have modified a given file, it may ask you what you want to do during the upgrade (keep the old one, replace it, etc.). The only purpose of the 15-content_filter_mode file is to enable or disable spam and/or virus scanning. Personally, I would simply edit that file (probably because it's easier to do), but if you like, you could copy the required lines into 50-user. I think the latter approach is more error prone however. As mouss says, look at your logs. Watching the mail log when testing is a great way to spot problems. Open an additional terminal session and tail the mail log while starting amavisd-new. tail -f /var/log/mail.log -- Gary V ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ AMaViS-user mailing list AMaViS-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/amavis-user AMaViS-FAQ:http://www.amavis.org/amavis-faq.php3 AMaViS-HowTos:http://www.amavis.org/howto/
