This is outdated and there is advice that is no longer accurate (because etch
is now stable) but if you care to spend the time to read it it will
help you understand the mess the Debian packagers made with 2.3.3:

As far as bypassing spam and virus checks goes (provided you start
amavisd-new with '/etc/init.d/amavis start' and not 'amavisd-new start'):

in  /usr/share/amavis/conf.d/20-package spam and virus checks are
disabled (Debian default):
http://www200.pair.com/mecham/debian/20-package

to re-enable them you have to uncomment the settings in 
/etc/amavis/15-content_filter_mode
http://www200.pair.com/mecham/debian/2.4.2/15-content_filter_mode

If you ever upgrade to etch, you can install the Debian amavisd-new
2.4.2 package, then get rid of the Debian package (but keep your
config files):

Note that installing the amavisd-new 2.4.2 package on a sarge machine
may upgrade libc6 (and possibly the kernel) and you could end up with
a broken system.
