[gentoo-server] spam filtering with postfix and virtual domains

[Andrew Gaffney]

I have been fighting on an off with amavisd-new for my mail setup at work. I use 
postfix and virtual domains. I've got amavisd-new setup as described in the 
Gentoo Mail Filtering Gateway Guide (or something like that), except for the 
mysql config for amavisd.

At some point, my amavisd setup decided to stop checking mail for spam. I don't 
get spam headers or anything in the logs indicating it's checking for spam. It 
still checks for viruses using clamav, however. Also, amavisd's configurability 
for SA is piss poor, at best.

I can use spamassassin and spamc/spamd just fine, so I know SA works. 
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem as if amavisd has the ability to use spamc 
instead of the SA modules directly.

I'm used to a nice "simple" setup with procmail, clamassassin, and spamc/spamd. 
I've got this setup at home, and I love it. The configuration and maintenance is 
very easy. Unfortunately, postfix's virtual delivery agent is not capable of 
using even a global procmail setup to do some basic filtering.

I'm looking for 1 of 2 things: a way to have amavisd run spamc instead of using 
the SA modules itself, or a local smtp daemon (like amavis) that just simply 
runs everything it gets through procmail, spamc, or whatever you choose with a 
"simple" setup. Does anyone have any suggestions?
