Another possibility is like spamd in spamassassin, which is a daemonized version of the spamassassin executable written in perl, and spamc, which is a client written in C: "It will read the mail from stdin, and spool it to its connection to spamd, then read the result back and print it to stdout. Spamc has extremely low overhead in loading, so it should be much faster to load than the whole spamassassin program (and a perl VM)."
