You can use remote_fs, yes. Or even both (but first, please look at the docs to see if remote_fs implies local_fs. I think it does). Any proper setup of amavisd-new can deal with it starting late. > The "should" stuff will be counted only if there are packages that > provide the servers in question. Do we need clamav-daemon in there? I don't object to the other deps, but clamav-daemon really shouldn't need to be started before amavisd-new... > As you can see, this will start amavisd-new either at the same time, > or before the MTA.

I wouldn't approve a patch where amavisd-new gets forced to start after the MTA at all :) > Please consider incorporating this patch into the next update. We will.
