I am currently running amavis-perl v11, but it is causing my load to
skyrocket at time due to the overhead of calling perl multiple times.

We are currently using both amavisd-milter-20010714, amavisd-milter-20011031
& uvscan on our primary and secondary mail servers.
We haven't been monitoring the load on the server. But I have seen the
server slow down when bombarded with about 25+ connections (primary was down
for a while, mail backed up on secondary and I started 'sendmail -q &' 25+
times to clear it). It's only a Dual P200 w/64M RAM (need to add RAM
someday).
We have seen an occasional core dump of the amavis-milter client (20010714).
We have a simple cron job to check if it had died and to restart amavisd on
this server. We haven't noticed amavisd 20011031 core dumping on the
secondary server (which doesn't have the cron job to restart amavisd).
I had created a FreeBSD port for amavisd, it is available from:
ftp://ftp.westbend.net/pub/amavis/amavisd-20011031-FBSD-port.tar.gz
This archive contains 5 ports (sendmail (relay/milter), exim, postfix, and
qmail (broken)).
