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
to tune their messages to avoide spam filters! :-O

Not so true.

Sure it is. If you can avoid most of the canned rules you can get a
lot more spam to mailboxes.

That is just the basis of it. How you customize it is
completely up to you.

That's true of every spam filter.

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.

Good! But not everyone spends a lot of time looking at spam and
adjusting filters.
