The reason I use Mailscanner is because it can do a lot more that connect clamav and spamassassin's RBL feature to postfix. It gives you the ability to blacklist email addresses, block certain filetypes, allow certain filetypes for certain email addresses and a lot more. My mail server only supports about 200 clients (Most using POP3) and the load is usually at 0.60 during peak hours.
