I can't speak for Robert, but as I said in the other post I agree with him, so I will say why. You will get better overall performance with amavisd-new and LMTP, rather than invoking a command via pipe for every delivery.
Admittedly, I have not used amavisd-new or LMTP; they may be better. But will they allow spamassassin per-user prefs?
Amavisd-new is indeed capable of per-user preferences.
Performance is a plus; another daemon is not. That saying, I'll run another daemon if I get something out of it. Any benchmarks on this?
A daemon is generally (I'd almost daresay "always") less overhead than the invocation of many single-delivery processes. No benchmarking is needed to support this fact.
That said, for many small sites, it does not matter much.
