Thanks Giampaolo for resolving this question, good answer! Running SA from inside amavisd has the following advantages: - avoids one message transfer (from amavisd to spamd); - receives more info from SA, such as individual test scores, timing info, autolearn results, headers added by SA, summary and report, tags from certain plugins like CRM114,ASN,DCC,... - can supply more info to SA; - avoids performing DKIM verification twice; - can check mail larger than $sa_mail_body_size_limit (truncation) and does so without breaking DKIM signature verification; - tighter time limiting integration (since 2.7.0).
