Re: suggested virus scanner for postfix (?)

Also, if you have some spare memory, create a tmpfs and use it as the temp directory for amavisd-new and clamd. It really helps speed things up, especially with compressed attachments.

Spamassassin eats a lot more wall-time than anything else in a typical
amavisd-new setup.

Also, see backports.org for backported amavisd-new 2.3.3 packages. Etch and
sid also have 2.3.3 packaged.
