amavisd uses the directory which is defined with "$TEMPBASE = " in amavisd.conf. Default is $TEMPBASE = $MYHOME; amavisd uses this directory to unpack files,store messages temporarily etc. amavisd cleans up the directory automatically if new messages are processed or if you restart amavisd. You should reserve at least 128 MB for the ramdisk - better a bit more. Example for a possible /etc/fstab entry: /etc/fstab: none /var/lib/amavis/tmp tmpfs defaults,size=128m,mode=750,uid=101,gid=0,noatime 0 0 The size of the ramdisk depends on the number and size of the in- and/or outgoing emails.Some people who are using a smaller Vserver have sometimes problems with amavisd if the "physical" ramdisk size is too small. Same problem should happen if the the ramdisk is too small so I think 150-180 MB should be sufficient. If the ramdisk is "full" and amavisd can not process the email then the mail should be rejected with an error "4xx".
