Almost all larger feature-components such as SpamAssassin interface, SQL and LDAP support, SMTP/LMTP client and server, OS fingerprinting, process control (nanny), BerkeleyDB cache, etc. can be disabled (or just not enabled). This way they are not even compiled-in on startup and occupy no virtual memory, and dependency Perl modules these components use are not needed and are not loaded. To a large extent the config file settings are still compatible with amavisd(-snaphot), although amavis-perl is somewhat different (not being daemonized). Btw, there is still the ancient helper program named 'amavis' (amavis.c) in a directory 'helper-progs' in a package, which is compatible with the old 'amavis' command and its command line options. It connects through a socket to amavisd (the daemon) and passes a message, envelope sender and recipients info to the deamon, and receives back a status. Probably nobody uses it now, but should still work. With sendmail a more popular interface nowadays is through a milter, (README.milter), using Petr Rehor's amavis-milter helper: http://sourceforge.net/projects/amavisd-milter/ or using a dual-sendmail setup (README.sendmail-dual).
