It is, regrettable not so simple. Since there is a gazillion of possibilities to integrate spam scanning, how exactly did you do it?

Very different. For example, messages coming in from a machine listed in dc_relay_nets would be scanned anyway. What you want to do is non-trivial in the package since it needs information about the entire site's configuration as soon as the site is a non-trivial setup.
