a) Postfix milter to run ClamAv, eh something like this (for Linux fans) b) then use the regular Postfix <--> SpamAssassin <--> LDA (with sieve) setup (message routing via Postfix master.cf) so that individual users can set their own SA rules and vacation stuff.
This is exactly how I used to have it but then the need for a vacation autoresponse to the From: address (as opposed to Return-Path) arose and I had to switch to procmail:

Before that, I was using spamc with --pipe-to, but always had a bad feeling about that, since the manpage says:
Note that there is a very slight chance mail will be lost here, because if the fork-and-exec fails there’s no place to put the mail message.
and my message to SA-users on this was never answered[0].
Now I am using procmail and at least now that failure will cause postfix to defer a message.

half a bee, philosophically, must ipso facto half not be. but half the bee has got to be, vis-a-vis its entity. you see? but can a bee be said to be or not to be an entire bee, when half the bee is not a bee, due to some ancient injury? -- monty python
