Some of the more or less officially recommended documents describing how to set up SMTP time spam scanning suggests calling (?) Spamassasin from Exim as user “nobody”.

Some more or less fundamental problems of Zabbix: Transfers between server and agent are un-authenticated and un-encrypted. zabbix_sender connects to the right TCP Port and that’s it. values are being transferred one by one. If I do a “df” and get 10 values for 10 mounted filesystems, then the zabbix server will make 10 TCP connections to get those values and will call 10 times df Read on
