Relying only on the website linked, I see 2 things that ASSP doesn't have:

1) "Images embedded in emails are scanned for spam, even if they are 
contained in PDFs."
It could either use something like the MSRBL clamav defs to detect image 
spam, or it appears to use OCR on images and PDFs, and then passes the 
text on to the filters, which, depending on its implementation and 
effectiveness, could be a pretty good feature

2) Logfiles processable through Sawmill. I would LOVE to see an 
improvement in ASSPs logging feature. The raw log is nice, and the "Info 
& Stats" page is good, but they are lacking. I'd love to see breakdowns 
of the effectiveness of different filters, such as which ones are the 
most effective and which ones generate the most false positives (by 
looking at errors/notspam). I'd like to see how much email my clients 
send and receive so I can see if anyone is abusing the service.

Analyzing the errors folder could be a goldmine of useful information in 
terms of which filters are the most effective and which ones aren't. If 
I see that a certain filter is giving me 0 false positives (like say 
Spam Helo or Forged Helo), then I might want to increase the scoring on 
that filter. If I see that a certain filter is too aggressive and making 
too many false positives, then I'd want to lower the scoring on that 
one. If certain RBLs are making too many false positives, then I'd want 
to remove them from the mix. That sort of thing would be very useful in 
fine-tuning ASSP's performance.
