Multiple MailScanner instances (DEBIAN)

[Markus Nilsson]

Sure, Virtual Machines would work, but would take more resources. I'd rather
have multiple MailScanner processes if possible; or of course just one that
can achieve what I want, but I don't think that's possible.

My goal is to be able to have different configurations for different
domains, for example multiple spam.assassin.conf-files (mainly for
domain-level bayes db's, due to different languages), different spam scores
etc, it seems like those things are only read at start-up; not for every
mail scanned, right?

Why? Since you can use rulesets for most anything, there usually are no real
need for this type of setup. Probably easier to use separate virtual
machines, if I can't dissuade you...;-)
