I run clamav and the greylisting implementation and the spamassasin
interface that's included with vpostmaster. It's not perfect, but it's
all quite nicely coded in python and easy to tweak. The GUI allows
changing spamassasin, greylisting, clamav parameters on a per user
basis. Users can also login to the gui and manage their own spam
control. The database also has designed in, the ability to store per
user configuration for other modules that you might add yourself. I
will look at MimeDefang.
