Description Nahor 2004-06-02 12:05:02 UTC

Amavisd-new doesn't need SpamAssassin to run nor does it need a virus scanner. As such, they should not be installed by the ebuild.

In my case, I only want to scan for viruses, not for spam. So I don't want it to install SpamAssassin and all its dependencies.
Some other people may want the other way around, scanning for spam but not for viruses.
