amavisd-new

High-performance interface between MTA and content checkers

Visit amavisd-new

amavisd-new is a high-performance interface between a mailer (MTA) and content checkers: virus scanners and/or SpamAssassin. It is written in Perl and talks to MTA via (E)SMTP or LMTP, or by using helper programs. It is best with Postfix, works with dual-sendmail setup and Exim v4, and with sendmail/milter or any MTA as an SMTP relay. It provides per-recipient spam preferences, quarantine, and standards-compliant delivery status notifications.
