Amavis-new (and clamd) worked with Centos 7 and systemd out-of-the-box.  
No special assistance needed.  Firewall rules in firewall-cmd are easy 
to do.  No flames need apply.

I needed a couple pieces of SELinux rules for other services, like 
Dovecot and Roundcubemail.  Since I did those before Amavis, I can't 
tell if amavis needs any SELinux help, but it is working for me with 
SELinux enforcing.

Any needed SELinux rules would be ontopic.  Enough said on the subject.
