this one.  I don't know where there is much advantage here.

It should never *do* spam filtering, but *support* it. The idea is this:
- there are distributed checksums like DCC, pyzor, razor

This makes sense, but how do you want to support it?

I think a lot of this falls under the responsibility of sieve if it's to do anything prior to delivery. After delivery, well you could troll through unread emails using IMAP and move them to different folders accordingly.

I would think you could do a nice job filtering spam if you had an LMTP based application that would just pipe the email from the MTA (postfix) through it to your MDA (dbmail) and let sieve do the final disposition (delete/directory). But this isn't really a dbmail extension. More of a sieve extension if anything.
