Well from the mailing list, note the first paragraph from Lars. (Oh
and I have packaged amavisd for work use if, although it is a bit of a
hack :-

They are stable. The former amavis-perl is now the main branch in cvs,
and the main reason I haven't made a new release yet is that I'm waiting
for Archive-Zip 0.12 (or maybe I should go back to unzip ...).
The next amavis release will be 0.3.12.

Forget about --enable-relay. For sendmail, I recommend _only_ the milter
interface. Which may require a sendmail update on your end.
The preliminary amavisd snapshot-20011031 (needs the patch I posted!!)
is more mature than snapshot-20010714, and I will make it the basis of
a new official snapshot in the near future.

The released snapshots of amavisd are stable. Each snapshot has more
features and hopefully less bugs than the previous one. As far as
non-daemon related code is concerned, I try to keep amavis(-perl) and
amavisd as much in sync as possible.
Sincerely,
