Amavisd can receive and/or send mail over inet or over a unix socket,
using a SMTP protocol. The default protocol on input from a socket
is 'AM.PDP', so this must be overridden by a policy bank, e.g.:
server side:
$unix_socketname = "/var/amavis/amavisd-smtp-in.sock";
$interface_policy{'SOCK'} = 'FORCE-SMTP';
$policy_bank{'FORCE-SMTP'} = { protocol => 'SMTP' };
client side:
$forward_method = 'smtp:/var/amavis/yourmailer-smtp-out.sock';
$notify_method = $forward_method;
I only tested it with 'socat', never tried it with a real MTA.
Note that CRLF line endings on a SMTP protocol are enforced,
so LF won't do.
Testing - client:
$ socat -v stdin unix-connect:/var/amavis/amavisd-smtp-in.sock,crnl
Testing - listener:
$ socat -v unix-listen:/var/amavis/amavisd-smtp-out.sock,crnl stdout
