Re: How to set up Anti-spam on inbound emails only?
Thanks for the info. But the SpamAssassin was unresponsive so I assume there's no relevant log entry. I will try to find the hmailserver log to verify.

How to set up Anti-spam on inbound emails only?
One day our users experienced slow sending emails issue. It's caused by unresponsive SpamAssassin. I was surprised that anti-spam took place even for out bound emails.

Re: Split log files
The following 3 logs are enabled.
Application
SMTP
POP3
There's only one domain, 100 accounts. Daily mail count is 10,000.
The log size is about 1.1 GB. If POP3 was not logged, the size would be about 460 MB. But sometimes I need POP3 log.

Yes. You can add whatever signatures you want. Just remember don't set update interval shorter than 1 hour.
In my experience, Clam AV can hardly detect any virus with its own database. But it has never had false positive either. It doesn't hurt to keep updating its signatures.
