I'm quite familiar with Amavisd-New, using amavisd-0.1 myself. But
amavisd-0.1 doens't integrte with SpamAssasin that I'm aware of and
amavisd-new doens't have the ability to send virus warning messages like
I want it to (to the RECIPIENT, not the "sender"), at least not that
I've seen anyway. So amvsisd-new is not really an option. How would I
implement it otherwise?
