Kolab without spam and virus protection

I don't think that is easy because after scanning, amavis injects the mail 
into wallace on port 10027.   Removing amavis would break the chain unless 
postfix master.cf was suitably adjusted which is outside my area of expertise.  

There would be almost no performance overhead by calling the amavis daemon 
configured not to spam or virus check.
