[10.4] amavisd-new 2.2.1/2.3.0

Well I figured out what was happening with launchd and newer versions of amavisd-new by looking at a diff of the original 2.2.0 (attached below) and Apple's installed 2.2.0.

I made the corresponding changes to the newer versions and voila, it started working and being managed by launchd.

I would have expected that running it as a daemon would have worked but I guess launchd has it's own way of handling things.

It looks like startup items are no longer required and using the launch daemon is starting to look like a nice concept since it boils down to a simple plist file to make it work (attached below) which can be included with custom apps to simplify installation and autostart functionality if the user isn't .

ClamAV may prove to be a little more difficult, I'm still investigating why when I compile it (even the older Apple installed version ), it's size is significantly smaller, otool shows that it's not including libmx.dylib despite any external flags I set so they must be making changes to the source code or doing it through some additional process or extra flags that I haven't figured out yet.
