I suggest you have a look at Mfilter (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mfilter)
before you go installing Amavis. I have used Amavis at several large
sites, and found it to have limitations, so I went looking for something more
flexible. I heard about a bunch of scripts that a friend had hacked together,
and asked for a copy. Since then we have packaged them and put
them on a webpage (see above)
I have this software running on some very large installations, and it works
beautifully. It also has the ability to duplicate emails for 
archiving/censorship
etc.. (Nasty I know, but required by alot of companies, and achieved with one
extra line of perl)
I have also written some SuSE startup/shutdown scripts for it, let me know if
you want them as I haven't got around to putting them on the site. Next thing
I have to do is create a SuSE rpm, as soon as I figgure out how. anyone
got a pointer for a rpm creation howto? (no that I've even looked yet)
