I also have this issue on a new build of Kubuntu 16.10, which has had
postfix, dovecot and amavis installed on;
paul@orion:/tmp$ sudo apt-get install amavisd-new

amavisd-new is already the newest version (1:2.10.1-4ubuntu1).
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
courier-authdaemon courier-authlib courier-authlib-userdb courier-base expect
libcourier-unicode1 tcl-expect xbase-clients
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 2 not to upgrade.
1 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.
