I purged my system of amavisd-new and amavis and now when I install amavisd-new it fails to start after installation.
It says it cannot locate a port to run on.
Maia comes with an own AMaVis daemon! The original AMaVis daemon doesn´t work if you only installed or reinstall the AMaVis. You need to copy the Maia files over again.

Do you think I would be better off removing maia completly than using the install script found on this site instead?

PS Thanks, for moving my post to here. 

 appreciated.
I went through the howto again and it is still failing at the step where I install amavisd-new.
Code:
webhost:~# apt-get install amavisd-new spamassassin clamav clamav-daemon

It appears I had manually deleted the amavis home directory.  I deleted the account and ran the install again and now it installed and started the service.  I will continue on from here and see how it goes.
Sometimes it helps to step away for a while.
