README.SuSE for amavisd-new
===========================

NOTE: If you DO NOT HAVE any VIRUS scanner installed, amavisd-new will not
      work per default!
      If you ONLY want spamfiltering WITHOUT any virusscanning, search for
      "@bypass_virus_checks_acl" in /etc/amavisd.conf and remove the comment
      sign.

- to activate spam filtering, you have to install the packages
  spamassassin and perl-spamassassin

- if you want to use sendmail instead of postfix, set
  AMAVIS_SENDMAIL_MILTER="yes" in /etc/sysconfig/amavis and restart amavisd
  using rcamavis restart. Additionally you have to edit /etc/amavisd.conf and
  remove the comment sign of the following two lines:

  $forward_method = undef;
  $notify_method = 'pipe:flags=q argv=/usr/sbin/sendmail -Ac -i -odd -f ${sender} -- ${recipient}';

  just search for "MILTER", and you will find them.
