Correct me if I'm wrong, but this product was configured so well with all those MTAs because it sits as the SMTP server (or rather: an smtp proxy).
Compare that to the recommended configuration of amavis, which is to use the filtering interfaces of postfix/sendmail/exim (no idea about qmail) and check the message while in the queue.
More pain to set-up, but then again, I don't have to trust a propriatary, closed-soruce program to be my SMTP server. Postfix does that much better, thank you.
