I don't know postfix, but I'd recommend you implement greylisting.
Spamassassin can come after, and won't have to work nearly as hard.
Sendmail has a greet pause feature that might have a postfix equivalent.
It is quite useful and very easy to set up.  It has a similar affect as
greylisting.  Basically, these features drop a *ton* of crap that comes
in from non-smtp complient mailers - i.e. viruses, spam-bots, and their
ilk.  And it drops all that crap before any data is sent.

Best.
