So I'd like any input you might have, on or off list.  Here's some
questions I believe will help guide things:

Q1 - What is the best glue for SA for Postfix that does the following:
- can implement clamav before SA call

postfix does that out-of-the-box

reverse the order in "smtpd_milters" but keep in mind that a well trained SA rejetcs much more mails than clamav and while clamav needs less ressources you by-pass the whole virus canner that way

smtpd_milters = unix:/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock, unix:/run/clamav-milter/clamav-milter.socket

- should silently discard emails if a virus is detected

a MTA/MX must never silent discard mails
where i live you go in jail for that as sysadmin

reject at SMTP level or deliver it

- Might use a few RBLs to decline connections to start

any recent postfix has postcreen on board with a sensible BL/WL scoring long before the smtpd process - contentfilters don't face 90-95% of all mails that way

- Implements a good implementation of greylisting

should also happen on the MTA level if at all

a backup-mx always anwering with a 4xx code also kills 50% of all botnet ips never seen on the primary MX but without the negative impacts (delay mail, loops in case of large senders alsways coming from a differnet IP and so never make it through greylisting)

- Temporary failure for scanning (virus or spam) failures

is a postfix standard behavior if a milter don't respond and also the standard behavior of most milters if they can't reach the final daemon
