amavisd-new - Interface between MTA and virus scanner/content filters

       This manual page was written by Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@debian.org>, for  the  Debian  GNU/Linux
       system (but may be used by others).

amavisd is a high-performance interface between message transfer agent (MTA) and  virus  scanners  and/or
       spam scanners.

       This  is  the  amavisd-new  incarnation  of  amavisd.   It is a performance-enhanced and feature-enriched
       version of the original amavisd program.

       Amavisd-new works as a SMTP proxy.  Email is fed to it through SMTP, processed, and fed back to  the  MTA
       through a new SMTP connection.  There is no buffering to disk by amavis, it will report that the transfer
       was sucessfull only after the forwarding MTA has accepted the message.

       It is possible to use the sendmail milter interface instead of the SMTP proxy method, as well.
