Thanks everyone for your replies.
Seeing as this a personal server and I don't mind if something breaks
(well I mind, but not as much) so I enabled testing and used apt-pinning
to get just the packages I needed.
For the curious, this the guide I followed:
http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html
I didn't enable unstable as the guide suggested.

A simple question for you regular debian user's, where can I find
newer packages, in particular amavisd-new, for Debian 7? It
ships with a 2 year old version.
I know I could install from source but I want to avoid that path.
You can build your own package or install sid's amavisd-new on wheezy
which is 2.9.

Hey David
the answer would depend on which release of Debian you are currently
running. and if it is available in backports for your current release.
easy answer is to pull from sid and hope depencies do not drive you
off a cliff.
Also mixing releases from what i have seen if generally not a good
idea as they tend to introduce other dependancies which seem to always
come back and bite you.
Step:2 is to try and rebuild the package for your version of Debian
assuming it is a simple configure make and make install but looking at
amivsd-new deps i would not hold my breath as they have introduced the
redis key store and some other major changes.
Hey David
for old times sake I sent you a rebuilt package of amavisd-new from sid
built for squeeze amd64 arch. Hope this is what you need as i already
had a debian squeeze build environment setup for this purpose.
Later,
Nick Sklav
