I think using those products behind AMaViS imply a non-personal use,
since, usually, a mailserver serves many users.

We've running a Postfix (with its built-in UCE Controls) + AMaViSd-new
and ClamAV system and it works pretty well. All of the packages are
avaiable in Debian (amavisd-new and clamav are backports to woody.
Just take a look on apt-get.org) and work nice. The updates are usually
fast and the db seems to be quite up to date. I got a server unreachale
error the last two days, perhaps due to the BugBear fever, but it does
not happen so often.
I think you should give ClamAV a chance and almost try it, and
eventually migrate to (or simply add) other commercial products if
you'll get unsatisfied.
