hey!

i wonder if i there is a way to configure amavisd-new to use de spamd/spamc setting instead of calling the spamassassin directly?!
anybody did this/got some idea?

What was I thinking.

From reading, and concentrating at the same time, it looks like you would need to get postfix to pass to spamd /c first then to amavisd-new using a main.cf config line.

I will investigate further.

Just comment out the spam section in amavisd.conf, and then add the spamd to the default run level and put it in your .procmailrc so that mail is put tru spamd.

Thats how I run it anyway.

what if I don't have procmail install? I have problem creating virtual account with procmail, so I just use the postfix' delivery agent. Can I forward email directly to spamd from postfix?

You can't use spamc/spamd with amavisd-new. They are C wrappers around the spamassassin perl modules to keep them in memory, rather than having them loaded/unloaded with each mail scan. Amavisd-new is a perl program anyway that stays memory-resident along with the SA libraries. It effectively does the same thing as spamd.
