[SOLVED] Disabling AV/AS ?

[uxbod]

Well, I know this has come up a few times so thought I would ask again

I wish to switch off AV/AS in ZCS and have un-checked the server settings as required. Once zmamavisdctl was restarted I see that it has modified the following settings

 @bypass_virus_checks_maps = (1);  # uncomment to DISABLE anti-virus code
 @bypass_spam_checks_maps  = (1);  # uncomment to DISABLE anti-spam code

which is great; but the problem is that Amavis still takes up valuable system resources. I would have expected that the line in /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/main.cf

content_filter = smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024

would have been removed instead

There are 3 services that control whether the content_filter routes through amavis. All three of antispam, antivirus and archiving must be disabled (not listed in zimbraServiceEnabled) for content_filter to be set to null.

If all three are disabled, you can force an update of amavis via

libexec/zmmtaconfig amavis

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the update ... if you disable all three then does that mean ZAD (Zimbra Archive and Discovery) will no longer work

Thx.

[brian]

The ZAD feature uses the amavis quarantine feature to perform archiving, so yes amavis is required for ZAD to function.

Thx Brian ... I know my route forward now then How do you disable ZAD once it has been installed ?
