Disable Clamav / Amavis / SA in Postfix on Debian

Question

I would like to disable Clamav / Amavis / SpamAssasin in Postfix on Debian Squeeze 6.0.8 as I have I outsourced my AV to other server.

I tried commenting content_filter and receive_override_options in /etc/postfix/main.cf (saved and restarted server) but I still see clamav and amavis process when I run top.

Are you sure you failed? Could it be that clamav and amavis came on top of ~top` because they were monitoring the rest of your system, not postfix? — MariusMatutiae, Dec 18 '13 at 17:47

Amavis, or amavisd, is the component that relays e.mail messages to the antivirus. Since it does nothing else, and you wish to get rid of this function, you should simply un-install it.
