[AMaViS-user] Attachment Filtering - Per User Restriction
How can I stop some users from sending any kind of attachments along with their mails ? Further, I would like to block the attachment file extensions selectively on a per user basis. Is it possible to do so ? I plan to use Amavisd-new along with Postfix. Thank you, -- Manish Kathuria -- Come build with us!

[AMaViS-user] Selective Content Filtering
Hello, Is it possible to carry out content filtering selectively for incoming mail only while using postfix with amavisd-new ? Thanks, Manish - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

It happened again during the weekend. There was an unclean shutdown and amavisd did not start on its own automatically when the system was restarted. I have checked the logs and I could not find any error messages but since amavisd did not start, postfix stopped accepting and queueing mails, which was indicated in the mail log. However this time, amavisd could be started manually without deleting any .pid or .lock files. So my presumption that amavisd could not automatically start because of presence or .pid or .lock files was probably not correct. I am not being able to identify the reason because of which amavisd is not getting automatically started when the system is booted after an unclean shutdown. I have dealt with a number of amavisd installations but have never faced this problem before.

The rc script(s) that are responsible for launching amavisd-new should do so even if recovering from an unclean shutdown. Can you confirm that amavisd-new starts on boot after a clean shutdown? This might be an issue particular to your OS/setup than a fault in amavisd-new. Your statement is right regarding the initialization scripts is right. I have shutdown and started the system a number of times without facing any problems. The problem occurs only in the case of unclean shutdown. I had installed amavisd-new on Cent OS 5.1 using the RPM from the Dag Wieers repository and have compared the start up script with earlier versions from the same repository which are working without any problem. Can't find any problem there. -- Manish - This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event. There's still time to save $100.

[AMaViS-user] Redirecting Spam on Per Domain Basis
Hello, I am using amavisd-new along with Postifx for a number of virtual domains on the same host. Currently, I am redirecting the detected spam for all the domains to a single account ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) which is monitored and scanned for false positives. Since the mail volume if very high, I would like to redirect the detected spam to a separate mailbox for every domain, for example ,[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] and so on. I have not been able to find appropriate configuration options in the documentation. Is it possible to do so ? If yes, what are the parameters to be defined in amavisd.conf.
