Oh god yes.  SpamAssassin == LoadAssassin.  Scalability is Right Out.
We had three dedicated hosts at efn chewing on LoadAssassin jobs, with
a MySQL backend, and it still dropped a bunch of traffic unfiltered.
It probably works fine for a smaller shop, but with nearly 20,000 usernames
receiving spam it Just Wasn't The Right Tool.  We were exploring
outsourcing our spam filtration to Postini (http://www.postini.com)
after a positive review from another ISP's admin, but events overtook us.
