SpamAssassin can be called in a number of ways. There's a dedicated milter
called spamass-milter (http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/spamass-milt/).
You can also call it through another milter called MIMEDefang
(http://www.mimedefang.org/), which will also do other processing such as
ensuring that unsafe attachments don't get through as well.

If your users don't require personalized SpamAssassin preferences via the
user_prefs file, you can also achieve extremely high performance with a
non-milter, two queue solution called MailScanner
(http://www.mailscanner.info). If your users do require user_prefs files,
you can sacrifice some performance by combining the spamass-milter solution
with MailScanner by turning off the SpamAssassin scanning with MailScanner.
