Mark may want to correct me here, but AFAIK, amavisd-new relies on another MTA to do relay control and has no mechanism of its own (among about fifty other things a true MTA has that amavisd-new does not). Although it behaves like a MTA, it is not designed to be a full fledged standalone SMTP server that is subject to the horrors of a direct connection to the Internet, it is designed to be a content filter that interfaces with an existing internally administered MTA. The closest thing to putting it in front of a server would be using it as a 'before queue' proxy filter in Postfix (or similar mechanism with other MTAs), but even this is not recommended or supported. More details about your setup and the problem you are trying to solve may provide enough clues for someone to provide an alternative recommendation.
