no, it's not amavisd. must be something that doesn't come with ports.
maybe plesk? (I have no idea as I don't use plesk).

amavisd-new uses SA code. but amavisd-new also does other things, so you
can run it without SA (such as for virus scanning with clamav).

Think of amavisd-new as a proxy that can use various filters, and one of
these may be SA (but it does not talk to spamd so you don't need set
spamassassin_enable=YES in rc.conf).
