Yes, without amavis it' quite faster, but i don't want to loose virual & spam
checking....*hmmm* gonna perhaps looking
once again in amavis' config.
I would recommend uninstalling amavis completely and reinstall it. (Make
sure everything gets removed, and you start with a clean configfile).
I've seen applications getting weired on linux for no reason. After
removing/ reinstalling them everything was fine again.
Thanks anyway
p.s. how's life?
