Spamassassin how-to?

[Paul M Fleming]

We use mimedefang http://www.mimedefang.org/ + SpamAssassin +
Sendmail/Milter + McAfee and deliver to cyrus -- we do our filtering on
separate machines than our actual IMAP backend servers. 

Earlier versions didn't perform very well under load but the more recent
versions with a built-in perl interpreter work great. You do have to
write your filter code snippets in perl but it also allows pretty
complex custom code.
