for now I'll do virus and spamassassin processing during smtp stage, but
at the smtp stage I'll have no clue what local users this message gets
to. so I can't load individual spam rules on a per user basis. I'll have
a preforked spamassassassin process which does not need forking on every
message. so me intention was to move the spamassassin stuff from the
smtp stage to the lmtp stage. Implementing this stuff on [S|L]MTP proxy
is another solution. there is one provided with spamassassin but I don't
know how well tested and stable it is. third possible implementation was
the sieve spam draft mentioned by rob.
