Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : amavisd-lite Version : 1.2 Upstream Author : Justin Boswell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.ultrazone.org/software/amavisd-lite/ * License : GPL Description : high performance, scalable mail filter for postfix
amavisd-lite is a high performance, scalable mail filter for postfix that does virus scanning, spam scanning (SpamAssassin), attachment filename scanning, and per user whitelist/blacklists. It is designed for use by ISPs and large email hosting providers. It is a complete rewrite based on Mark Martinec's amavisd-new It is designed to be more lightweight, with faster transaction times and less memory footprint than amavisd-new, at the expense of a minor loss of some of amavisd-new's flexibility. amavisd-lite runs as an LMTP mail content filter. This allows it to accept messages rapidly in from postfix, and insures that messages are evaluated on a per-user basis, and that the MTA recieves a per-user status for each message. All settings for amavisd-lite are stored in SQL, making for quick and easy integration and administration. ===== Comment by package requestor: I am using amavisd-new (sid version, backported on a woody box) in a virtual UML server, and the memory usage is astronomic. It would really be nice if Debian had amavisd-lite packaged. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (100, 'unstable'), (9, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.9-rc3 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=ISO-8859-1 (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US)
