I have yet another way of using spamassassin with TMDA. One of the
accounts on my server belongs to a small retail store owned by a
friend. He does not want to use TMDA in the typical way to request
confirmation from all senders, but I found another use for it.
Spamassassin determines, whether to force confirmation or not - if
spamassassin's score is high enough, a confirmation request is sent.
If not - all mail passes through.

This may not (and does not) stop all spam (especially local, Polish
spam), but is quite effective anyways and there is no danger that
anything important will get bounced or dropped immediately. Also on
top of all that I use rblsmtpd to eliminate all open-relay senders.
