Yes, thanks. 
The amavis-milter in my setup is redundant, afaik. It's inherited from an
howto I followed earlier:

http://www.scalix.com/wiki/index.php?title=Scalix/Sendmail_%26_Amavisd-New_H
OWTO

My final setup is based on this README file:
    /usr/share/doc/amavisd-new-2.5.4/README.sendmail-dual
