i just want to add a warning about spamassassin. i had it setup for about a week and it was very good at catching spam, but occassionally it would drive the cpu load into the 20s. i didn't spend any time trying to track down the problem. i was using procmail to send all my mail through SA so maybe using the milter solution would work better, but i'd be careful about installing it on a busy mail server.
