Description-en: part of Ubuntu mail stack provided by Ubuntu server team
AMaViSd-new is a script that interfaces a mail transport agent (MTA) with
zero or more virus scanners, and spamassassin (optional).
.
It supports all common virus scanners (more than 20 different AVs), with
direct talk-to-daemon support for ClamAV, OpenAntiVirus, Trophie, AVG,
f-prot, and Sophos AVs.
.
AMaViSd-new supports all MTAs through its generic SMTP/LMTP filter mode
(ideal for postfix and exim). It is faster and safer to use the SMTP/LMTP
filter mode than using the AMaViS pipe client. It supports sendmail milter
through this package.
.
This package contains configuration files for amavis and alters postfix
configuration to utilize amavisd-new.
