MimeDefang running as a sendmail milter can do whatever checks
you want, controlled by a small snippet of perl and it
intelligently multiplexes the operations so it doesn't
serialize everything behind the slow operations. Even if
you run spamassassin with it, you can get better performance
by running faster checks (virus, network rbl, etc.) that
are likely to reject messages first.
