Sorry for the delayed response. 32MB is pretty "sketchy" for a
server to run this much software concurrently.

Some suggestions:

* As per the earlier response, configure it to run only one
amavisd-new process.

* Don't use any optional SA rulesets - many are memory-intensive.

* Eliminate any other extraneous processes that may be running on the
box.

But you know what? This still may not do it. I just looked at my
FreeBSD dev box, and amavisd-new 2.2.0 + SA 3.0.2 running under
Perl5.8.6 has a 35-37MB footprint, per process. This combo is probably
going to run like a dog in a 32MB virtual machine.

You may want to downgrade to SA 2.64, which I believe had a smaller
memory footprint, and see how that compares.
