Running amavisd chrooted should not be a problem, SA loads
its rules files at startup time before chroot takes place.
It should not be necessary to provide a copy of rules files
in chroot jail.

This may not be a case with some additional custom SA plugins
which come with their own .pm file. Amavisd-new-2.4.3 provides
a way to pre-load such modules before chroot takes place by
listing them in @additional_perl_modules. From RELEASE_NOTES:

- added a global configuration variable @additional_perl_modules, which
  is a list of additional Perl module names or absolute file names that
  should be compiled/executed (by calling 'require') at a program startup
  time by a master parent process, before chroot-ing and before changing
  UID takes place. Its purpose is to pre-load additional non-standard
  SpamAssassin plugins and similar modules that a standard SpamAssassin
  initialization would miss, causing them to be loaded later by each
  child process, which is inefficient and may not work in a chrooted
  process. Example:
    @additional_perl_modules = qw(
      /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/FuzzyOcr.pm
      /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/ImageInfo.pm
      String::Approx Plugin::TextCat BayesStore::SDBM
    );
  Make sure these files are owned by root and not writable by unprivileged
  users such as amavis!
