    I use postfix with mysql which forwards mail to a content filter (
    amavisd-new ) which does the virus scanning and Spam detection. Using Spam
    assassin I have DCC, Razor, and Bayesian Learning. All mail is forwarded
    through unless its a virus --> onto Cyrus, then I have Sieve read the mail
    headers to filter all Spam into a junk folder. If Spam still comes through
    I just have all my customers forward the mail to report-spam@domain.tld
    <mailto:report-spam@domain.tld> . A cron job runs at 6am every morning to
    learn from these Spam emails and put them into the Bayesian database. I
    only use one RBL which is relays.ordb.org, I don't like RBL's really because
    they have some pretty idiotic polices not to mention they're so secretive.
    Spam really isn't a threat - its more annoying then anything else - some
    customers like to read through it sometimes - I cant stop them if they want
    to. Yet every two days, all mail that's in the junk folder is automatically
    purged.
     
    Regards,
