Which combo are you using on FreeBSD ? Avamis-PERL is being daemonized to remove the hit of loading up PERL for every msg. Daemonizing PERL with SpeedyCGI does not work with Amavis since SpeedyCGI does not pass required results from the AV scanner to Amavis. The SpeedyCGI developer agrees to make changes but they are substantial and will take time. A daemonized Avamis will be ready before SpeedCGI is fixed, but there is no date for it. I use Amavis-PERL-10 with Kaspersky and postfix and it works well. My IMGate group is trying put together a script, vs a FreeBSD port, that installs all of the numerous cast members (compressors, PERL modules, Kaspersky stufff) since the recent Amavis port for FreeBSD doesn't support postfix and apparently won't for some time.
