 I have confirmation from the amavisd-new author that starting amavisd as root 
 is safe, because it drops privileges as soon as possible. The only caveat is 
 that p5-Net-Server 0.88 is needed, which is included in the ports collection. 
 If somebody upgrades amavisd-new but does not upgrade p5-Net-Server, 
 amavisd-new will not start until p5-Net-Server is upgraded. Below is the patch 
 that should be commited. This makes amavisd-new work automatically both with 
 and without chroot (but only if p5-Net-Server 0.88 is also installed).
