amavisd-new does not integrate with Postfix

[René Brandenburger]

When installing amavisd-new, it does not integrate with an existing postfix mta. To get it working, i have to tweak the configuration files of postfix myself. I would expect the installer / package manager to do this for me.

dapper with fixes up to 27.04.2006 applied.

What do you want to get easier ? To activate as the package amavisd-new is installed ?

Actually, you have to add one single line to your configuration file something like:
content_filter=smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024

this is exactly what i expect the package manager to do for me (or at least present me an option to choose if it should be done or not).

I had to add the line you mentionto the main.cf. additionally i had to add the following to the master.cf

smtp-amavis unix - - y - 2 lmtp
 -o smtp_data_done_timeout=1200
 -o disable_dns_lookups=yes
127.0.0.1:10025 inet n - y - - smtpd
 -o content_filter=
 -o local_recipient_maps=
 -o smtpd_client_restrictions=
 -o smtpd_helo_restrictions=
 -o smtpd_sender_restrictions=
 -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,reject
 -o mynetworks=127.0.0.0/8

This isn't a bug, but a feauture request. Marking it as Whishlist.

We have most of the piece parts into the Postfix package to support this in Intrepid, but it came very late in the process. We ought to be able to do something with this issue in Jaunty.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Not a papercut. Doing this in a policy compliant way is non-trivial (and subject of a spec).

Watch bug 41745.

Declining for Karmic until this is solved in the development release. Also not a post-FeatureFreeze Lucid target.

Proposing for Maverick, as i believe there was already some work going on with this.

Also requesting some feedback with how that is going? :)
