Well, SpamAssasin does a good job on spam filtering. I also recommend to
include a virus check (for example clamav). The best way to do this is
by using amavisd.
But it's even better to block mails earlier by using blacklist services
(to block open relays etc.), helo checks, blocking non-existing or
invalid sender domains or hostnames (yes, spammers _are_ silly), ... -
but this requires that you receive the mails directly (incoming SMTP).
To make it short: You should give some more details about your
environment:
- how do you receive the mails (directly from other mailservers?
fetchmail? ...?)
- what exactly do you need?
- how many domains, mailboxes and aliases do you expect?
- how do you want to manage the mailusers? (text files, database,
LDAP, ...)?

Very fresh: I just set up a server with postfix, courier-pop3,
courier-imap, amavis, SpamAssasin, clamav, greylisting (sqlgrey),
mailusers in MySQL database, postfix.admin for managing the
mailusers, ...
The problem with this: It's that fresh that it isn't documented yet ;-)

I'm not sure if sorting out mails in english language is a good idea -
it's a very common language and you will at least miss this mailinglist
if you do so ;-))

PS: If you understand German, I recommend to read "Das Postfix-Buch" -
it was very helpful for setting up the mentioned server.
(Sorry, I don't know english or Norwegian books about this topic ;-)
