Hmmm... I think my package does a reasonable good job of that, except
for the MTA...

I was told that amavisd-new was better then either amavisd or amavis-ng.

In fact, Luca Filipozzi <lfilipoz@debian.org> said:
    
    amavis-perl : the original (slow) one
    amavisd     : the client/server version
    amavis-ng   : Hilko Bengen's rewrite of amavis-perl/amavisd
    amavisd-new : Marc Martinec's version
                  (uses Net::Server, which I just uploaded as
    libnet-server-perl)
    
    Here's the email to amavis-user where he announced it:
      http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=amavis-user&m=101745807930720&w=2
    
    I think that most of the Amavis developers will head in this
    direction: it's that much better, imo.  Or there might be a merge of
    amavis-ng and amavisd-new.  Oh hell, I don't know.  I just know
    amavisd-new kicks amavisd's butt :)

Personally, I just wish that they would get rid of all of these extra
versions and work on one and one one version.

person).
