My MTA is sendmail:
checking this out at: http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/

It mentions a `dual sendmail set-up' being required to use it with
sendmail and says it works best with Postfix.

I've seen that term ( `Dual Sendmail setup' ) a few times lately but
haven't really seen anything telling what it means.

Do you know what that reference is about?

  It is written in Perl for maintainability, without paying a
  significant price for speed. It talks to MTA via (E)SMTP or LMTP, or
  by using helper programs. Best with Postfix, fine with dual-sendmail
  setup and Exim v4, works with sendmail/milter, or with any MTA as a
  SMTP relay. 'Howto' for qmail available as well.
