Re: [exim] Exim with Amavis with SpamAssassin and ClamAv

Hi

Forget about using amavis, you will only send bounces, raise your load,
and have problems. Exim has all the spam/antivirus features you need
built in.
When you use amavis, you first have to accept the mail, so accept
responsibility for bounces, and everything associated to the mail, like
delivery or notification. Exim can reject bad mails at smtp time, this
saves you time, bandwidth, space and collateral spam. Amavis is not
really useful anymore with exim and is even bad to use.
