It's my impression that Spamassasin accepts messages to the server,
then scans the messages, assign a score then determin whether to
deliver the messages to the user. I'm trying to use a method to
prevent the message from ever coming into the server.<br>
<br>
Does Amavis have this ability?<br>
<br>
I was trying to figure out how to do this will policyd but someone
in the list said policyd didn't have such a feature (to check the
headers and block) it was a feature of Amavis.<br>
<br>
I have Amavis installed. I know it's filtering messages. But I
don't fully understand how it works. I'm trying to use it, as in my
original question, to block unwanted messages from even coming to
the server by looking at on the header.<br>
<br>
If a full message was scanned, that would mean that it came to the
server to be scanned.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for any one that can help me to understand the
workings of Amavis.<br>
