Hello :),
Thanks for all the response.
I already use Spamd with courier-mta and very happy with the combo.

I am not committed to amavis-new. It is just my fist AV MTA integration
and it is the only setup I know.

It is very funny to see the conversation moving from AV question to a
greylist discussion :)
