I run MailScanner and love it, but I'll never say Amavis is bad, since I
never tried it.  I think the biggest difference is that Amavis is more
like a network daemon, and MailScanner is more a daemon that plays
within a box, through the FS.  I've seen some comparison between both,
but I can't see any is better than the other one.  I'm managing ~13
MailScanner servers and I can't really complain.  One thing, for sure,
is that the support on the MailScanner mailing list is very good.  I
don't know about Amavis'.

If you'd like to try MailScanner, maybe you should try SMGateway, which
is a commercial product based on MailScanner with many othe packages,
very easy to install and configure.  Product is free, updates are
decently priced.
