I do question the wisdom of anything front-ending a high-quality MTA - one of the reasons I use Postfix is *because* the protocol speakers are written so well and are so high performing.
In general, I agree - but once you've seen ASSP in action, you'll never look back. It is *so* much more effective than SpamAssassin, and even DSPAM - and is very simple to install/set-up - and best of all, *very* light on the resources.
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.
