Hi, Towhid. After setting this up myself a while back (Postfix + ClamAV + SpamAsassin + Amavis-new), I wrote a blog post with links and tips that I discovered along the way. You may need to tweak depending on the distro you use, but this should help nudge you in the right direction: http://stevejenkins.com/blog/2011/02/tips-for-installing-amavis-new-clamav-and-spamassassin-using-postfix-on-fedora-12/ SteveJ
