It's job is to read a mail and check it against ClamAV and Spamassassin to decide if it should be accepted as-is, marked as probable spam or simply dropped. It is a daemon process that accepts mail then re-sends it using SMTP. anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) Thu, 15 Apr 2010 19:19:02 +0000 https://wiki.linux.edu/postfix/postvirt?rev=1362712065&do=diff This is a simple explaination of a virtual email server supporting tls and imap with a PostgreSQL database and using postfix.
