John,

I use Postfix - Amavis - SA - ClamAV in post-queue configuration.

ClamAV
I don't rely much on AV these days, but on attachment filter including for
recent xls and doc malware.

Amavis
Even if Amavis was not updated recently, is not critical. 
banned_namepath_re and map_full_type_to_short_type_re  are powerfull when
combined for file types, but Documentation doesn't cover much here. 
Sometimes is better to look into amavisd-new perl file and add your own
rules in config files.
In post-queue configuration, Amavis must quarantine/discard/pass and never
bounce/reject (for before-queue configuration).

Spamassassin
Have SA running with a local DNS resolver. Install one and have it listen on
localhost.
When behind a NAT, is better to forward incoming SMTP port 25 to your
machine, in order to preserver original client ip address.
I use whitelist (only for SPF/DKIM authenticated senders) and blacklist.

Postfix - I use:
Recipient and Sender verification for my domains only.
RBLs for Sender domain, Helo, Unverified client name and Client IP address.
postscreen_greet_action = enforce instead of greylist.
Reject SPF hardfail at SMTP.

I use SPF and DKIM as mandatory for hosted domain(s) in order to reject
spoofed Senders-and-Froms@my-domains.

Marius.

I was just getting around to 'putting 2 and 2 together'.  I've seen your
posts all over the place over at SA, but hadn't connected the name to
Amavisd.

Thanks for the comments.  I'm glad to hear that the project is still alive
and kicking.  Don't have any sense yet about relative performance of the
various tools listed on the Postfix site.  I DO get the sense that Amavisd
runs on some big installation.

about investing in something that's "good but dead".  Been there, done that,
right?

So I'll likely give it a try having heard from the 'horse's mouth'.

Reading the Postfix lists I find a lot of low-end/new users like me asking
Amavisd related questions, but hadn't seen anyone who actually runs a
production server in a business actually say "use this".  Elsewhere, sure.
JUst not here yet.  SO thought I'd ask.

Thanks again.

John
