Is anyone running amavisd and clamd under CentOS-7? Amavisd-new seems difficult to install, and clamd is difficult to find. (I've only added the epel repository, as I had a conflict when I added rpmforge as well.)
I take it amavis is still the recommended way to run postfix?

If you want to use the EPEL repository (what I can recommend), then contact the maintainers of the packages in question if so far they have not branched their packages for EL7. EPEL 7 is still in beta stage.

There is no requirement from Postfix side to use amavisd-new. Postfix can perfectly run without amavisd-new. The question is: what is your goal when considering the use of amavisd-new? If you just want to hook in ClamAV, then clamav-milter is a more lightweight approach.
Running Postfix on CentOS 7 means it is a much more current version than the ancient from CentOS 6, so that you can make use of postscreen[1]. You should read about it and consider to make use of it.

Thanks for your response.
I know I don't need to run amavis - but it is (or was) the recommended way to run postfix + spamassassin + clamd in CentOS-6, as I recall.
I'm actually running postfix + spamass-milter + spamass-milter-postfix under CentOS-7, and it seems to be working. (There doesn't appear to be a clamd rpm in epel yet, but I can wait.)

The CentOS-6.5 version seemed to run fine, as far a I can see. I don't set great value on modernity, unless the new version runs better in some way.

I looked at the man page, but don't think it is really relevant to me, on my home servers. But thanks for pointing it out.
