Ok. Since you never actually tried amavisd, and since you've proved
willing so far to invest some time in your spam config, I think you may
find it worth your time to try amavis. IMHO you'll find it's no more
difficult to setup than what you already did with procmail+clamassassin,
and is a quite a bit more powerful.

At least I did manage to install easily amavis way before it become
available in fedora, but failed miserably when investigating dcc
(granted the licensing was not too motivating in this last case)
