Here's how we use Amavis:

# Virus Checker -- run if received protocol isn't from spamassassin *or*
amavis
amavis_router:
condition = ${if or {{eq{$received_protocol}{spam-scanned}}{eq
{$received_protocol}{scanned-ok}}} {0}{1}}
driver = accept
transport = amavis
domains = ! +virus_problems
# verify must be set to false, to avoid troubles with receiver and/or
# sender verify
verify = false

And here's the transport:

# Virus Checker
amavis:
driver = pipe
command = /path/to/amavis -f <$sender_address> -d $pipe_addresses
# for debugging change return_output to true
return_output = false
return_path_add = false
user = amavisuser
group = amavisgroup
path = "/bin:/usr/bin"
current_directory = "/path/to/amavis/dir"


The "virus_problems" domain list contains domains from which mail MUST
be delivered, even if it has a virus (don't ask me, but people freak out
if they don't get viruses from those domains I suppose). We do this:


Accept Mail -> Amavis -> Spamassassin -> Delivery

Where the mail leaves Exim to go to Amavis and then re-enteres Exim and
leaves again to go to Spamassassin.
