    The first question is which filtering engine you want to use. some choices:

    - spamassassin. widely used. resource intensive. maintenance burden
    - dspam. bayesian (with some variants). doc is not very clear.
    - crm114, bogofilter, ....

    so there are a lot of choices. some people daisy chain multiple engines.

    amavisd-new:
    - good interface to spamassassin. no more fork per mail + works in
    gateway mode (so can filter relayed mail if you want)
    - can block bad attachments
    - compatible with many anti-virus solutions
    - support for policies ("policy banks")
