What is it?

WebAvis is a Web frontend to amavisd-new written in PHP.
It allows owners of a mail account to manage their amavisd-new parameters, like spam scores, white/black lists and filter behavior.

Requirements

To be able to run WebAvis, you just need a web server (say apache) with PHP and the needed modules to access the backend (LDAP or SQL).
I won't cover here the configuration of amavisd-new as there is enough documentation over the web for that.

What does WebAvis look like

WebAvis is using XHTML and CSS so you can personalize it as you want.
You can see a demo of a site running WebAvis here.
(If you run a site with WebAvis, you can, if you want, send me a link to it that I will add to the list)
