I second that. We use amavisd-new with clamav on all our externally visible
MX boxen. The software is rock stable, but clamav's database site is down
from time to time. This is fixed in mainstream (different download server),
eventually I'll put updated debs somewhere. I also filed a bug for that,
hoping the pkgmnt will pick it up soon.
