Description : high performance, scalable mail filter for postfix
amavisd-lite is a high performance, scalable mail filter for postfix
that does virus scanning, spam scanning (SpamAssassin), attachment
filename scanning, and per user whitelist/blacklists. It is designed
for use by ISPs and large email hosting providers. It is a complete
rewrite based on Mark Martinec's amavisd-new It is designed to be more
lightweight, with faster transaction times and less memory footprint
than amavisd-new, at the expense of a minor loss of some of
amavisd-new's flexibility.
amavisd-lite runs as an LMTP mail content filter. This allows it to
accept messages rapidly in from postfix, and insures that messages are
evaluated on a per-user basis, and that the MTA recieves a per-user
status for each message.
All settings for amavisd-lite are stored in SQL, making for quick and
easy integration and administration.

Comment by package requestor:
I am using amavisd-new (sid version, backported on a woody box) in a
virtual UML server, and the memory usage is astronomic. It would really
be nice if Debian had amavisd-lite packaged.
