Indeed SNMP oid lookalikes, these are statistics counters collected
by amavisd child processes and constantly being updated in a bsb database.
The amavisd-agent is just a simple program to show these counters,
until some kind sould provides a true SNMP agent to map these counters
to a true SNMP space.

Looks normal. Means 71 messages came in since amavisd startup
(each one causes one cache lookup, all failed to find a match),
on the average of 5 lookups per hour. The last column shows
a percentage of some other counter, and in the absence of
some meaningful other counter to compare to, a value is
compared against itself, always yielding 100%.

Right. Followups (if any) to the amavisd mailing list please.
