Tried it and it worked fine with my old config file. I only had to 
manually change the value of:

    $unix_socketname

to the correct path in amavisd-release ($socketname = 
'/var/spool/amavisd/amavisd.sock'; for the EPEL version).

Perhaps amavisd-release should learn the $unix_socketname by reading the 
amavisd.conf file?

So, now I am running 2.8.0 under the disguise of a 2.4.5!

I will try, however, to create a true amavisd-new-2.8.0 RPM, based on 
the EPEL source package 
(http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/SRPMS/amavisd-new-2.4.5-1.el5.src.rpm).

If anyone else, more experienced than me, can do it faster, that will be 
appreciated!

Thanks,
Nick
