[AMaViS-user] Seperate sendmail & AMaViS Server

[Clint F. <cf...@al...>]

Since the AMaViS can use the milter API from sendmail, has anyone
successfully tested AMaViS on a seperate machine that the sendmail
server is on?

We are very impressed with the AMaViS product, and have wanted to use it
for quite some time, but scalibility is/can be a problem when we have a
single mailserver with 1000+ active mailboxes (plus pine users, etc.)

The overhead of unpacking/scanning is too much on the system.

In short, instead of using the unix:/var/amavis/amavis.sock, using
inet:<port>@<machine> .

I'll try to set this up myself, of course, but I'm looking for input
from anyone that has already tried it, or knows why we shouldn't.


Thanks,
