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.
