From your web page:

"Bodytest" support - allows you to run filters like spamassassin and clamscan 
on the body of a mail message before replying to the final "." of the SMTP 
DATA command. (See the edinplace(1) man page and the bodytest description in 
the avenger(1) man page.) 


This would imply that you hold the connection open from the sender till
SA has had a look at the mail, (which may entail several network based hits
in the process of checking surbl etc).  Does this not entail some rather
large number of open connections on the mail server, some of which might
time out when SA is working hard?

Also does avenger sit ahead of sendmail or is it called by sendmail?
(Who is listening on 25? Avenger or sendmail/qumail?
