Hello, you can just disable/mask those services, so they don't even startup. ClamAV chews the most memory.
On my system I didn't require antivirus, so I used this command to do the job:

Code: Select all

systemctl mask clamav-daemon clamav-freshclam
You can do the same, including the services for Spamassassin and Amavis. Then reboot.

Just a note: There is a checkbox in KeyHelp exactly for this purpose.

Configuration -> Email Server -> Email virus checks -> [ ] Enabled
