[Mimedefang] Question about milter socket: unix vs. local

[jbird at micron.com]

According to the O'Reilly Sendmail (a.k.a. The Bat) book; pg. 326, unix
is a synonym for local.

Subject: [Mimedefang] Question about milter socket: unix vs. local


Hello all!

I am searching for an explaination for something I do not find an answer
for. All documentation for unix domain sockets did not give me a hint.

I am running sendmail with mimedefang and amavis, so I have these two
lines in my sendmail.mc:

INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`mimedefang',
`S=unix:/var/spool/MIMEdefang/mimedefang.sock, F=T,
T=S:1m;R:1m;E:5m')dnl INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`milter-amavis',
`S=local:/var/amavis/amavis-milter.sock,
F=T, T=S:10m;R:10m;E:10m')dnl

The mimedefang readme instructs me to use "S=unix:/path/socket.file"
while amavis shall have "S=local:/path/socket.file". Where is the
difference between unix and local?

It would be nice if someone could point that out for me in a short way.

Thanks

Alexander
