Thanks Giampaolo for resolving this question, good answer!
Running SA from inside amavisd has the following advantages:
- avoids one message transfer (from amavisd to spamd);
- receives more info from SA, such as individual test scores,
timing info, autolearn results, headers added by SA, summary
and report, tags from certain plugins like CRM114,ASN,DCC,...
- can supply more info to SA;
- avoids performing DKIM verification twice;
- can check mail larger than $sa_mail_body_size_limit (truncation)
and does so without breaking DKIM signature verification;
- tighter time limiting integration (since 2.7.0).
