We are running Amavis with Sophos and Sendmail.  Sophos is natively
compiled.  If you want to run it on 4.x you will need the Compat 3x libs.
Other than that, it works great.  Also, you can cron the following script
to update your virus identities automatically:

#!/bin/sh

idesite="http://www.sophos.com/downloads/ide/"
idedir="/usr/local/sav"
fetch="/usr/bin/fetch"
${fetch} -q -o - "${idesite}list.txt" | cut -c 37- | while read d ; do
        ${fetch} -m -q -o ${idedir} "${idesite}${d}"
done

Of all the antivirus companies, Sophos seems to be the most aware of
FreeBSD.
