Re: [SPAM?] Re: Memory requirement for SpamAssassin/Postfix/Roundcube/Dovecot stack
If you want to save on memory usage, just having amavis filter out exe
files or exe-like files (screensavers, exes in archives, etc.) is much
more efficient than using clamav. Of course this doesn't filter out
Office macros/OLE, but there's a plugin in SA related to that, I believe.

there are also many signatures for JS and other kinds of malicious content
in clamav...
however, with clamav, 2G of RAM is not enough. Especially when using
ConcurrentDatabaseReload (default on)
