Well, I haven't tested it yet, but did check the code, it's written in 
Perl, so surely it's not lightweight, and in Your case, maybe 
configuring the smtp do the HELO check, would improve the situation even 
without this software. And Assp is also old - June 26, 2005, can't 
actually trust that old piece of code...

Btw, I just tested ClamSmtp, and it passed true viruses, but Amavis did 
catch them.
