Next message: Markus Schwengel: "Caching of transport entries"
Richard,
Put those checks in main.cf i.e. on smtpd_rcpt_restrictions and
smtpd_sender_restrictions so that you can reduce on the spam as you try to
sort out amavisd.
I actually managed to configure my postfix so well that I rarely get spam(
one in a week). I have a combination of spamassasin+amavisd+ postfix
although after many days playing with postfix config, I finally controlled
spam.
