Linux/Postfix/Amavisd/Spamassassin combination will run like a champ.

And it runs tht way on the spammers machines too. They like to use it

Not so true. That is just the basis of it. How you customize it is
completely up to you. Many of the commercial antispam solutions have this at
their guts. I went from sybari antispam catching 35,000 emails a week with
way to many false positives, to a custom solution catching 100,000 emails a
week with less than 10 false positives.
