I have pretty much the same setup except that I disabled SA in amavisd-new (because I don't like the way amavisd-new handles SA reports), using it only as an antivirus "frontend" for postfix. Instead I use spampd to do the real spam detection. spampd is a perl daemon, which (like amavisd-new) acts as a sort of SMTP proxy, but unlike amavisd-new (which uses spamc/spamd unless I'm mistaken), it uses SpamAssassin's perl modules directly. SpampD is quite efficient as it only loads all spamassassin rules only once (like spamd) and tries to avoid spawning of new childs (as far as this is reasonable). Have a look at http://www.worlddesign.com/index.cfm/rd/mta/spampd.htm for spampd (original author) or just use my Debian packages (in Debian/Stable) if you use Debian. cu, sven ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
