I am not a German but I think that the German law says that you ARE ALLOWED to drop any message as long as you don't have accepted the message. So having amavisd running in pre-queue allows you to DROP the message and just send a normal SMTP error code. That is allowed by law. But you are NOT ALLOWED to accept the mail and then later doing some processing where you ERASE/DROP/WHATEVER the mail. This is not allowed by law. So you accept the mail -> you have to deliver the mail. That's probably the reason he wants to run amavisd in pre-queue because this would allow him to fight spam/malware and block spam/malware and drop spam/malware without having to accept the mail. > amavisd can run in pre-queue mode but it is not a recommended > configuration for performance reasons. > > -- Clifton > // Steve > -- > Clifton Royston -- clift...@iandicomputing.com / clift...@lava.net > President - I and I Computing * http://www.iandicomputing.com/ > Custom programming, network design, systems and network consulting > services > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, > Nevada. > The future of the web can't happen without you.
