Never used Amavis, so I can't comment. All config here is done by the text-based config files.
And because it's a mail hub we're running, we use site-wide rules, no user-specific stuff. We've got a pretty standard Dell 2650 server, 2.4GHz processor, way too little RAM (I'd recommend at least 2GB) so it swaps a bit too much (we're also running squid on that box), and the load average is normally under 5.
