I prefer doing spam filtering at the SMTP/gateway level - drastically 
reduces the load on my postfix server. Even though Postfix's header 
checks are very effective, ASSP is even better, and getting better every 
day. Fritz is also in the process of integrating ClamAV back into it, so 
it will even handle the virus scanning too. ASSP just plain rocks!

The development is very active, but you have to join the USER mail list 
(the dev list is not nearly as active) to see that. The sourceforge page 
lags behind quite a bit, but at least was recently updated to reflect 
the massive (unofficial) changes that had been implemented by Fritz. 
That has now been rectified, and Fritz is an official dev for ASSP.
