I am using iredmail for an SMTP replay with mail sent to it from our own private server and then from there to the recipients. As we are now sending 25000 emails per campaign the server is very slow getting bogged down with Clam scanning and maybe spam scanning.

I tried stopping the Clam services with:
/etc/init.d/clamav-daemon stop
/etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam stop

And then I commented out the line in main.cf:
# content_filter = amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024

But this morning the emails sent from the main server appeared to get "stuck" ion the iredmail server and never reached the recipients.
So I set things back again and hope the mail queue gets processed.

Is there a proper way to shut off AV and Spam scanning that will allow the SMTP email to be sent via the iredmail server quickly?

Thank you

Thank you ZhangHuangbin for pointing me to those articles. They didn't show up in my Google searches. Next time I have a question I will do a better search in the iRedmail documents. I bought you a coffee. Have a nice day.
