Under postfix the typical deployment for dspam is to set it up as a 
content_filter.

dspam has more than one way to score spam (eg: chi-square, markov) which I've been told shouldn't be mixed (eg: CRM114 + chi-square).

If (here's the question...)

I were to set up a chi-square content_filter on port 10020 and send all spam through that first with the option to quarantine or deliver to port 10021

AND

I were to set up a CRM114 markov content_filter on port 10022 and send all
spam through that deployment with the option to quarantine or deliver
to port 10023

Would dspam work or kind of self destruct... ?

eg:

postfix--> dspam/bayes --> postfix -->dspam/CRM114 -->postfix --> lmtp

This is what I would like to do...

Now, here's the reasons why I would do this twice:

bayes is largely effective.

bayes is much faster than CRM114.

CRM114 is also effective but slightly different.

It is my opinion that multiple different approaches is a good thing to do. This is frequently seen with multiple spam scanning tools implimented (bogofilter, spamassassin...) If I could do this using dspam in both methodologies than I would have a single point of quarantine and management.

What are the chances that I could do this without doing data integrity damage or suffering other inconsistencies in performance?
