Hi Mark,
there are some things to think about.
Will this be gateway scanner or a local delivery scanner? If you want to implement a gateway scanner courier let's you only decide between deliver and reject. You don't have any chance to modify a message within courier and then submit it.
Another picture is local delivery. You can use spamassassin without problems. you just have to set up a .mailfilter or a global maildroprc file and enable maildrop. I have no expirience with virusscanning and local delivery. But I think this should also work.
My favorite setup for a gateway scanner is:
mailscanner (www.mailscanner.info) spamassassin clamav postfix + if you like Webmin with modules for mailscanner and postfix
On Debian the intital setup takes about 1 hour and you can adopt this setup to your needs for almost any scenario.
For local delivery I only have experience with spamassassin. It is very stable and recognizes about 80% of spam in our setups without false positives.
My favourite mta is courier anyway. I only miss a filter hook, which allows me to change the content of a message through smtp delivery. This is why I use postfix for gateway scanners.
Best regards Manfred
p.s. I know this was no top-ten list but hopefully it helps you anyway.
