I read the sample config file and various docs but this
notify_method  parameter in the config file is still a
mystery to me.  Can someone kindly help me understand ?
What exactly does it do ?
Do I need to use it ?
What is the fundamental difference between notify_method 
and forward_method ?


If I  have  MTA X  (192.168.0.1)  sending to  Amvavisd-new
(192.168.0.2) and the resulting messages are to be forwarded
to yet a 3rd server: 192.168.0.3,  what should my
notify_method and forward_method  be like ?

Many thanks again in advance for any help.

Cauba

$forward_method = 'smtp:[192.168.0.3]:10025';

The default:
#$notify_method = $forward_method;

should serve your needs. $forward_method lets amavisd-new
know how to
get to the next-hop server (typically the same server it's
already on
- but in your case a different server) for mail amavisd-new
has
received. $notify_method lets amavisd-new know how to get to
the
next-hop server for notification messages that amavisd-new
creates
(notes to administrators about viruses, banned files etc.
for
example). It's rare that they would need to be different.
