I'm trying to figure out which would the best implementation for my mail and web server. Any experiences? Caveats? I'm on CentOS 3.

actually, if you check the amavis website, you'll see that there is no more updates or support. go with amavisd-new, clamav, and spamassassin. or check out mailscanner.info for another alternative.

Check out maia: www.maiamailguard.com Based on amavisd-new, it supplies all the professional outsourced filter style features. Using it with clamav, I've never received a virus, and it's been 99.28 percent effective with my spam situation, better numbers than I've gotten from postini.

I second the recommendation for Maia Mailguard. It's sweet, albeit a bit tricky to get setup. The best part of it is the web-based management for users. I even got my very non-technical wife using it, and she loves it.

I think you'd be more than pleased with MailScanner (http://www.mailscanner.info) I run it on MANY mail servers and don't know how I lived without it!

I have a guide to install a PostFix mailserver (with MailScanner, ClamAV, SquirrelMail, and SpamAssassin) here:
http://www.hughesjr.com/content/view/9/30/Guides
But amavisd-new is available as a package via yum from Dag's repository ... so I might be easier to install:

Well, my setup is sendmail, OpenWebMail, and spamassassin. I think OWM will make calls to ClamAV. I'm using spamd to scan all mail. I'm not clear on how users can use their own prefs though. I find the documentation confusing. At the very least, though, I would like a scanner to scan as the mail comes through the MTA. Much like ScanMail from Trend does on Windows. -- <<JAV>>

I tried to use the amavisd-new from Dag's site. I ended up removing it. I couldn't verify whether or not it was actually using SpamAssassin. The log file said that amavis was finding SA, but I wasn't finding any of the SA headers in the email I was passing through the server. I couldn't figure out how to troubleshoot the problem, and was running out of time. Also, I couldn't be sure, but it seemed like it was calling SA cold for each email and eating the resources accordingly.
I ended up using spamd (the Spam Assassin daemon) and calling spamc from a procmail script. Then I installed clamd (the clamav daemon) and clamassassin (a procmail interface for clamdscan) and call that with a procmail script as well. I'm happy with the performance, and I can monitor what clamav and spamassassin are doing, which I like. At this point I'm considering adding another virus scanner for redundancy, but the clamav folks seem to respond to new virii pretty quickly.
My old email server used Mailscanner with SA and f-prot. The only complaint I had with it was that you have to install postfix twice, and sometimes email would get hung up.
My $0.02 US. :)

I haven't used amavisd-new so I can't comment on that aspect. I do use MailScanner with SA and clamav on several servers and I haven't had any issues.

I haven't had any e-mail get caught up in between the directories for the two instances of postfix, but I guess it is possible if something happens.
It really is only 2 directories for postfix config files (at least for MailScanner), two e-mail spool/delivery locations and 2 instances of postfix running...but it is confusing and more resource intensive.

You must have done something wrong as there is no need to install Postfix twice. I think the docs say to run postfix in a chroot jail. The MailScanner initscript then starts two instances of postfix. One being in a queue-only mode (to act as the external MTA). The second delivers mail handed to it by MailScanner for fianl delivery.

Here are my 2 cents
I have been using Qmailtoaster (qmailtoaster.com) for a while on Centos.
Basically download the rpms and rebuild them.. Nice web based admin tools too. There are some nice user contributed installers for it also.
Nate has a nice script that basically auto installs everything. http://www.askdavis.com/qmailtoaster/
I just finished a script that installs Clamav 0.8x+Spamassassin 2.64 +Squirrelmail+SASQL+QS 1.24st as well as a few other customization.
http://mybashadmin.sourceforge.net/ToasterAddon.sh/
with these 2 scripts I can install a mail server in basically in the time it takes to download the files
