SA 2.x had a patch to call Sniffer.

We haven't seen one for SA 3.x yet and it looks like a real performance
buster so I'm not pressing for it.

However, you can use a modified version of the current postfix script
to pipe sniffer in front of spamc ala "sniffer | spamc ..." and soon
(2-3.1i1) sniffer will be upgraded to run directly in a pipe (no
script).

This has the advantage that the full analysis from sniffer can be used
in SA to establish weighted tests - and it will add less than 100ms to
SA's potential ~10sec processing time...

Another thought - though not fleshed out - is to have sniffer act as a
gateway to the program after it... That might be SA, or sendmail
(postfix)... This opens up the option to have sniffer "hold" spam, or
skip SA, or call some other application depending upon what it sees...

All of this is in the works for the next round of development along
with more that I can't tell you about ;-).
