You're focused too much on terms and Postfix bias.  By definition - if 
you configure Postfix to use ASSP as a post-queue content filter - then 
it is one.  You simply have ASSP listen on a given port - I'll say 125 
for an arbitrary number - and tell Postfix to use that as a 
content-filter using an SMTP transport.  That gets the mail from Postfix 
to ASSP.  Now have Postfix listen with smtpd on another port - again, 
I'll arbitrarily pick 325 - with no content filters. Tell ASSP to 
forward mail it receives on 125 after processing to 325.  Now Postfix 
will accept the mail back - and deliver it.

You can do the same thing with multiple IP's and ports, and use separate 
Postfix instances instead of just configured listeners - but unless you 
have a specialized need it's probably overcomplicating things.
