As far as I have understand from his post a week or two ago, he tries to
migrate from Exchange to Ubuntu.

You can setup postfix + spamassassin + clamd WITHOUT amavisd. That makes
the life a lot more easier. In this way you must only configure
SpamAssassin and ClamAV by hand, but that is not as difficult as using
Amavis. Amavis is a painful package that no one really needs. (IMHO)

By the way the questions have been asked 1 or 2 weeks before on a
different thread on this list. I'm not so sure if the original post was
meant serious. If they are meant serious: as someone mentioned in the
previous thread getting the hands dirty is the only way to get this up.
Regardless if you are using a GUI or something else for configuration.
Even the "buy & click" Exchange server will not work without planning the
installation. And thinking there is an easy way to exchange an Exchange
server with Ubuntu, is wrong. Learning by reading and doing is the only
way things will work.

Just my 2 cent.
