I use Amavisd-new for virus and phising filtering and to some extent, spam-filtering through ClamAV (tries to match spam-images and urls). But SpamAssassin is run through maildrop.
The only reason for that is that I need to add spam-headers. I would much like to run SpamAssassin through Amavisd-new, as that would allow me to reject mail and filter messages that are relayed which should keep mailboxes cleaner and allow for some small efficiency improvements.
