To answer both your personnal email and the one to the list, I am not using postfix but sendmail. I am using amavis thourgh amavis-milter, that is a *very* old version of amavis. And I am using SpamAssassin through procmail. The reason I separated both of them is partly historical (at the timeI started with them there was no amavisd-new that could call to SA) and partly philosophical (even if it means expending the atttachments 2 times; on one hand anti-virus is the same configuration for every users, it is a matter of security policy and no user is allowed to change that, so it is checked at transport; spam filtering on the other hand is really a matter of personnal choices, some may have their own rules, etc. so a message could be treated differently for each specific user, so it is checked at delivery). Best regards, Olivier
