Look at the title and read the post Ralf. The point is you need to use a milter or proxy/policy daemon to do this with Postfix. The point being 'Why does it not natively support this functionality in the year 2010?'
Answer: Because Weitse (AKA 'God') says so, so you all jump and say 'yes sir, no sir, three bags full sir'. So Ralf - author of 'The Postfix Book', can you please now tell me how to get Postfix to reject mail before it accepts it and gives a 250 - When Spamassassin tags it as spam? It's 2010, spam accounts for 9x% of mail so please share with me how you can do this with just a minor config change with Postfix. The caveat you can't use the milter, you can't use 'amavis-crashalot' and a 250 must not be given if Spamassassin marks it as spam. I can't find it in your book anywhere old chap...... I'm happy to stay on the Postfix 'merry-go-round' for an answer, or we can just agree Postfix can't easily do this and move on and stop flogging this dead horse :-)
