That's what I do: Sendmail -> MIMEDefang -> SpamAssassin -> Razor. It's very useful for preventing build up of double-bounced spam in the postmaster mailbox which was totally swamping legitimate mail. Of course I've set things up so that SA has to return a pretty high score for MIMEDefang to reject mail (10) and Razor alone won't do it (although I've set that quite high (7)). SA scores of 5 to 9.9 get a header added. I also shoved a ClamAV scan in there. This setup has greatly cleaned up the email stream. Rejecting at the SMTP level really makes things much easier to deal with from an admin point of view, and I imagine that many others have discovered this and are doing likewise. I never silently discard email because then no-one knows it's a problem. By rejecting hopefully someone somewhere will see that there's a problem and do something about it.
