Thank you, Martin and Duncan! Sorry I did not mention this information. I am using RH9 with Postfix. Maybe I can use Mailscanner.
The folks on the postfix list will thwack you if you use mailscanner, as it apparently uses unsupported methods to muck directly with the postfix queue. I have a preference for amavisd-new running as a postfix content filter. This applies the scanning at the SMTP stage, after postfix has validated that the recipient is valid.
Alternately, you can fit spamassassin into the delivery pipeline (procmail, maildrop) and have per-user bayes etc.
There is little love lost between the two main developers of Postfix and MailScanner, and I don't think there's little hope of any resolution on this in the sort term (postfix developer objects to messages being moved from queue to another ny a third party piece of software, and the MailScanner doesn't see any need to recode the whole dataflow of MailScanner for one MTA when 'it works anyway').
Lots of people use the two together and it works fine.
