Several setups do exits, i.e. running InterScan VirusWall SMTP on port
25 and piping then the mails to the exim's sendmail wrapper. Please read

Well, amavis-perl-11 is current (but there are isses related to
FreeBSD/perl) *sigh*
Moreover, IIRC the FreeBSD port works only with sendmail (using the

Really?! So, you're using the "wrong" Linux distro ;-) But, hum, yes,
there's no amavis-perl/amavisd RPM for exim right now ...
