This is a good setup, but you may find that you can eliminate the second
postfix step there and go postfix -> amavisd-new -> dovecot lmtp. Unless
you need additional processing specifically from postfix after
amavisd-new, that is.

I've been doing sendmail -> MIMEDefang -> SpamAssassin/clamd and then sendmail -> procmail -> SpamAssassin. Yeah, SA gets run twice, once to reject scores > 10 by the milter and then again by each user to incorporate their Bayes scores. I'd love to run it only once but haven't invested time in figuring out how to do that. But I only have a few users so it hasn't been a big enough load to worry about it.

I'm the only one in my family/office doing extensive procmail filtering for my own mail, as I subscribe to lots of lists and like pre-filtering it all into separate folders. (I probably have 100-200 folders, so my MUA gets a workout looking for new mail.) I'd replace the procmail filters with sieve ones using Dovecot but I still want SpamAssassin to run first to mark the spam for filtering.

(BTW, pet peeve about Thunderbird MUA: It fails to spot new folders I create when I add a new procmail filter. I have to go into Thunderbird's subscription dialog and force it to reload the folder list. I use an old copy of Mulberry in parallel and it always dependably reloads the folder list on startup.)
