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}

Use flags
- ldap
- Not required (What would this be used for? I activated it in my config, any reason for this?)
- milter
- It is activated in OpenPKG but I don't see it being used in the amavisd.conf file. So you don't need to activate it.
