amavis sucks.
use mimedefang. have it call spamassassin and vipuls razor and file::scan

you could just setup fetchmail on the gateway to pull their mail from 
telestra. then they could just use POP off the internal interface of the 
gateway.

I can work with you offline if you want to go this route (writing it all up 
for the sxs site of course)
