As far as invoking SA and getting its results, it should be about the same. One difference regarding SA is when mail is larger than some fixed size: MS chops the mail and calls SA anyway, amavisd-new does not call SA in this case. This may be good or bad: MS may catch a large spam message, but breaks DKIM and SA signature - SA would find signature invalid. Other features, project priorities and approaches can be rather different. Mark
