Configuration

Amavisd-new is a very useful tool for configuring all your content checking in one configuration file. The configuration file is relatively simple and self-explanatory, and defaults should be OK for most installations. Remember to restart amavisd after making changes to amavis.conf!

Defaults in Kolab Server 2.2:

  • Template: /kolab/etc/kolab/templates/amavisd.conf.template
  • Configuration file: /kolab/etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf
  • Logfile: /kolab/var/amavisd/amavisd.log
  • Quarantine directory: /kolab/var/amavisd/virusmails
  • Start commands: /kolab/bin/openpkg rc amavisd {start|stop|status|restart}
