Quick, your bias is showing... ;-)
There are many ways to use Perl so that it is lightweight (in terms of performance, since RAM is cheap). For example, *all* of the inbound email to the apache.org and perl.[org|com] domains is handled by qpsmtpd, which is an advanced MTA written in Perl.
http://smtpd.develooper.comThe next generation qpsmtpd will be capable of handling tens of thousands of simultaneous inbound connections (currently used only for spamtraps).
FULL DISCLOSURE: I am one of the developers of qpsmtpd.
And Assp is also old - June 26, 2005, can't actually trust that old piece of code...
You apparently didn't read very closely; the main project hasn't had a recent *official* release, but one of the contributors has been continuing to develop (and his last released code in the 1.1.2 series was Mar 28, 2006 and in the 1.2.0 series was today).
Btw, I just tested ClamSmtp, and it passed true viruses, but Amavis did catch them.
Did you make sure to update the ClamAV definitions? Did you make sure that you configured ClamAV correctly (e.g. to scan inside archives)? A quick test done without understanding the tools involved is equivalent to no test at all.
