HOLY DISCLAIMER BATMAN!

We use postfix and love it.  It is highly configurable and I know there is 
much doc online re individual spam settings w/ Mysql.
Re qmail, I found this doc for configuring individual user settings

Subject: [SAtalk] general question about usage of SA


Hi all,

Can I only filter selected domains even individual mailboxes ?
Is this possible ?  I was told that qmail was most likely not a good choice for this 
as the mail handler in qmail is not very customisable.  Is this true ?
If so, can anyone recommend an alternative for our clients who don't want any 
filtering ?

It basically needs to be setup so that the client has no filtering to start with, and 
can request it at a later date.
I just want to use it mostly as a relay.

Which mail server would you all recommend ?

You can set qmail to scan at queue-time with qmail-scanner or the spamc
wrapper that comes with SA.  Then qmail will scan every message that
passes through the server.  

Alternatively, you can scan on delivery by setting up qmail to deliver
to spamc, which in turn delivers to something like maildrop which can
take action based on SA's results.  Then you can turn filtering on/off
for individual mailboxes.  There is a tutorial for this kind of set up
here:

http://wotsit.thingy.com/haj/mailfilter-spamassassin-vpopmail.shtml

The way I have SA set up, it only scans the message and adds a few
headers to the message.  The message's original subject and body are
preserved, so even if I were to scan at queue-time, the users who don't
want filtering would never know it's there.
