very nice, the greyfilter module was something I was really missing!

We are now very near to a "one stop solution" for doing all things
needed in todays email warfare with courier and only ONE additional
tool! Great!

A few questions:

1. Is there any documentation, besides the README ?

2. Did anybody do any performance testing?
I have to sacrifice so much memory just for spam and virus
handling... it really makes me depressive seeing clamcour with
17m RSS + 33m clamd RSS + some more to give for spamassassin...
and that is on a not very busy box! Every byte counts! ;)

3. Related to 2: How does the clamav module interact with clam?
is it using clamd or the binary? If I understand things right,
pyclamav is using the clamav libs, so can I get rid of the
33m clamd process??? (Biiiig Eyes...)
Or are the libs just needed to contact the 33m clamd process???

4. Is it possible to define if
- outgoing only
- incoming only
- outgoing AND incoming
email is checked with the clamav module?

5. How can I use whitelist_auth AND have the outgoing email beeing
checked by clamav?

6. Does the order of modules listed in pythonfilter.conf have any
meaning (maybe related 5) ?

7. Is there any auto_whitelist feature? How would one implement this:

outgoing:
auto_whitelist to: addresses, if sender is whitelist_auth-ed
check for viruses anyway
(yes, we want to protect users even from sending viruses!)
reject, if virus found, else send mail

incoming:
do not greylist sender address, if it was auto_whitelist-ed
scan for viruses anyway


Hope, my questions make sense...


Thanks for your attention!

Tommy
