I've recently installed and configured amavis-postfix and essentially have it working as it does catch viruses and lets the good mail go through.
However, for every email that comes through, it is creating a log file in the form of a directory called 'amavis-2002....." with contents 'email.txt' and sub-directory 'parts'. For example: sumida:/var/lib/amavis# ls total 24K drwxr-x--- 3 amavis nogroup 4.0K Nov 25 10:58 amavis-2002112500-20190/ drwxr-x--- 3 amavis nogroup 4.0K Nov 25 11:03 amavis-2002112518-20193/ -rw-r--r-- 1 amavis root 11K Nov 25 10:26 amavis.log drwxr-xr-x 2 amavis root 4.0K Nov 25 10:40 virusmails/ How do it turn this logging off and set it to something more reasonable that won't create a huge mess? I've tried various permutations for the settings in /etc/amavisd.conf, but haven't hit it right yet.
