[AMaViS-user] spamd and multiple amavisd-new instances/installations

[Rodolfo G. G. <rgo...@gn...>]

Hello,

I have many amavisd-new installations working for several virtual hosts, 
each one in independent IP addresses and domains. Is it possible to have 
a central spamd scanning messages, just like clamd would do it for 
virus?, something like this:


amavisd ---------
                  \
amavisd ---------------- spamd
                  /
amavisd ---------


instead of having each amavisd process loading spamassassin code and 
rules. My guess is that this could lead to a big decrease in memory 
usage. I'm not sure about the impact in performance (CPU usage, speed), 
but the amavisd-new docs hint that it could be nearly the same.


Thanks in advance.
Rodolfo.
