It doesn't matter from a technical point of view which order you install those packages in. However, if you put in MailScanner first you will have to keep going back and changing its config file to tell it to use the other packages as you install them and restarting it each time. I personally would install spamassassin first and make sure it's working. I would then put in razor and double check that spamassassin is using it (should happen automatically). Install F-Prot and then MailScanner. MailScanner calls F-Prot. You will need to edit MailScanner.conf to tell it use F-Prot and spamassassin. As I said before, spamassassin will automatically use razor if available. Remember that spamassassin only flags messages as spam when they exceed the threshold (default is 5). You need to add a procmail recipe to do what you want if screening at the server or leave it to your users to screen them out using their mail client.
