13 Having a second postfix instance between amavisd and the email server is
14 going to make things way more complicated. Amavisd is perfectly capable
15 of speaking smtp/lmtp by itself, so unless you need to perform complex
16 mail routing you could directly send the filtered mail to the windows
17 server.

19 Other than that, I have very similar setup
20 (fetchmail->postfix->amavis->cyrus-imap, where all hops but the first
21 are done with lmtp) that has been working quite well for the past few years.
