Re: [AMaViS-user] latest snapshot

Jim,

| what mean/make this entry in amavisd.conf?
| $db_home="$MYHOME/db"; # DB databases directory, default "$MYHOME/db"

The development version creates three BerkeleyDB databases
in the directory $db_home, typically /var/amavis/db
(the directory need not exist, but ownership of /var/amavis
must allow its creation to user vscan).

One db there is used for SNMP-like counters (contents can be shown
by the sample program 'amavisd-agent' in the distribution),

The other two databases there are used for a body signature cache,
which is now global for all child processes, and the lifetime of
its entries is not limited to the child lifetime. It improves
cache hit rate somewhat, at expense of more complex cache management.
This feature will be made optional, but at the moment it is
always enabled in the development verssion.
