Assuming that you're talking about a transparent SMTP proxy in a firewall, it 
should be possible.

I don't know of any specific solutions, but if you can redirect all incoming 
connections (in comin into the firewall) to port 25 your SMTP-proxy and that 
proxy can call SpamAssassin it can work. �ou'll probably want to run two 
separate proxies, one for incoming mail (incoming to your servers) and one for 
outgoing mail (outgoing from your network), as they will have to act 
differently. Maybe there's a nice SMTP proxy on CPAN that can be modified for 
this in case there's no ready made one that'll work.

Personally think a more conventional mail gateway (we use Sendmail with 
MIMEDefang, but there's a bunch of alternatives) would be an easier and better 
way to get a similar result though.

If you're not talking about "a transparent SMTP proxy in a firewall", then 
maybe you could explain what you mean by "bridge". As a bridge (as the term is 
normally used) can't do SMTP, I simply guessed at what you might mean. If my 
guess is wrong, I have no idea whatsoever as to what you want to do.
