Why would you use AMAVISD anyway ??

 

From the Documentation

 

 

AMaViS (A Mail Virus Scanner) is a tool that interfaces your MTA with several antivirus scanners. It supports various MTAs and

comes in three branches:

amavis

,

amavisd

and

amavisd-new

. Only the amavisd-new branch is supported. AMaViS cooperates with

ESET Mail Security by using

esets_cli

. Before explaining the AMaViS configurations, the impact of the ESET Mail Security

functionality method is described. AMaViS does not allow scanned email message modification and denies ESETS access to clean

or delete infected email attachments. As a result, the ESETS footnote with log and status dependent header fields will not be

written into the email message. Also, AMaViS does not provide mail sender/recipient information. Due to this, user specific

configurations are unavailable and advanced mail handling features (accept, defer, discard, reject) are limited for

esets_cli

.

Lastly, AMaViS only scans files; it cannot use the ESETS antispam engine.

Taking into account these drawbacks, content filtering using AMaViS is recommended only if the system administrator does not

require the features discussed above.

Hello nordlead,

 

It's not possible to use a dedicated server for EMSL, it must be installed on the same server as your MTA or amavisd-new.
