But that just relegates the task to Sieve. I fail to see why
standardizing on a "X-Spam" header is worse than standardizing on a
Sieve "spam" extension.

- From the operational point of view, the only advantage of a sieve
extension is that at this point of delivery, Cyrus knows exactly
whether the recipient exists, who it is, whether it is over quota
etc. For instance, knowing the user would make it easier to have
per-user-preferences in SpamAssassin (stored in a MySQL table.)

So perhaps it would be useful to have a generic filtering extension a
la Postfix content_filter in Sieve, to which all the context
information of Cyrus is passed. Bob Finch's extension already goes a
long way in this direction.

I would prefer to keep the fine-tuning of SpamAssassin out of
Sieve. Of course, on could imagine an extension that provides a
command spamassassin "some spamassassin preference" but that precludes
using, e.g., the SpamAssassin PHP configration interface.
