.. but that is not really amavis-related. You might have other users 
that have guessable passwords as well. Running an unrestricted sshd is a 
big hole per se; The least everybody should do is to restrict the 
allowed users and disallow direct root login. Furthermore the user list 
should periodically be checked for well-known usernamens like admin, 
test etc. These should be disabled and for all necessary users like 
amavis or vscan it must be ensured that a direct login is not possible. 
The important thing is to actually prove the impossibility- some time 
ago I had a case where I put sshd restrictions in one config file and 
sshd was reading another one...
