I know I don't need to run amavis - but it is (or was) the recommended way to run postfix + spamassassin + clamd in CentOS-6, as I recall. I'm actually running postfix + spamass-milter + spamass-milter-postfix under CentOS-7, and it seems to be working. (There doesn't appear to be a clamd rpm in epel yet, but I can wait.) > Running Postfix on CentOS 7 means it is a much more current version than > the ancient from CentOS 6, The CentOS-6.5 version seemed to run fine, as far a I can see. I don't set great value on modernity, unless the new version runs better in some way. > so that you can make use of postscreen[1]. > You should read about it and consider to make use of it. I looked at the man page, but don't think it is really relevant to me, on my home servers. But thanks for pointing it out. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
