amavis creates 1024 bit size keys be default. You can override that and use
less that 512, but no less or up to 4096, but not more:

    $nbits = 1024  if !defined($nbits) || $nbits eq '';
    $nbits =~ /^\d+\z/  or die "Number of bits in a key must be numeric\n";
    $nbits >=  512  or die "Number of bits too small (suggested 768..1536)\n";
    $nbits <= 4096  or die "Number of bits too large (suggested 768..1536)\n";
    defined $fname && $fname ne '' or die "File name for a key not provided\n";
