You also want to considder if virus scanning is necessary if this machine only fetches its own mail (not serving as a mail server for windows machines). Virus scanning for linus
Thanks for the suggestion. I don't use virus scanning, since it's only mail for this machine. I can certainly understand the use one runs a mail server that passes mail on to windows clients though.
(Amavis is simply a front end processor for the actual virus checker. It rips an email appart, writes the parts to a directory, scans that directory and then re-builds the email. I understand spamd/spamc does the same. Any idea where it puts the temp file/directory? Putting that on a seperate disc (if I had an extra) would certainly also help!
Thanks Hans
