+amavisd-new is an interface between message transfer agent (MTA) and
+one or more content checkers, e.g. virus scanners, SpamAssassin, etc.
+It is a performance-enhanced and feature-enriched version of amavisd
+(which in turn is a daemonized version of AMaViS or amavis-perl).
+
+amavisd-new is normally positioned at or near a central mailer, not
+necessarily where user's mailboxes and final delivery takes place. If
+you are looking for fully per-user configurable and/or low-message-rate
+solution to be placed at the final stage of mail delivery (e.g. called
+from procmail), there may be other solutions more appropriate for your
+needs.
