SpamfilterN config file MTA options

Spamfilter MTA options:    (filepath)
The    MTA options are used  specify the location of the configuration file for a spam/virus filter package. The value of this option is passed to the spam/virus filter package for it to use to locate its configuration file; thus note that MTA special symbolic names (e.g.,  )  should not be used; and whether the spam/virus filter package prefers absolute file paths (including full directory path), or prefers a bare filename (presumably located in some fixed/default directory) can vary with the specific spam/virus filter  package in use.

This option is specifying the location of a configuration file for the spam/virus filter plug-in itself; the MTA passes this option value (the location of this configuration file) to the spam/virus filter package and it is then up to the spam/virus filter package to open and read that specified configuration file. Thus in particular the actual options available and supported within the specified file are dependent upon which spam/virus filter package  is accessing its (own) configuration file. For details on what options may be specified within a spam/virus filter package&#x27;s own configuration file, see, respectively:
