Virus filtering

Has anyone worked with a setup of amavisd-new, sophos, and sendmail
8.9.3? It seems to be accepting mail, scanning it for viruses, but then
does not deliver it locally. /var/spool/mqamavis grows and shrinks though. I
am using cyrus-imap for local delivery (Mcyrus is defined as
/usr/local/cyrus/bin/deliver and my Mlocal is mail.local before adding
amavisd-new). Should I have both a sendmail.cf and sendmail.orig.cf?
What should the changes to my sendmail.cf be? I have seen documentation
that the new Mlocal should be /usr/sbin/amavis and others that say it
should be /usr/sbin/scanmails. For what it is worth, I had neither
after installation. I created scanmails and that is my Mlocal now. It
seems to working because my /var/log/maillog shows incoming mail, calls
up scanmail, scanmail comments that no viruses were found, then sendmail
says the message was sent. It never goes through though.
Amavisd-new appears to start and continues showing up as a daemon, but
on startup gives the following two errors:
[28609]: lookup_acl: key="", no match
[28609]: lookup_acl: key="" matches ".", result=1
After that it runs with a master process and 2 virgin child processes.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brad
