Currently I'm using spamass-milter, which seems to have been teetering

I’m not sure how important it is that it seem frequent updates. It’s really
just a conduit between spamassassin and sendmail. I wouldn’t think it would
need much in the way of development, the work is all on the other ends.
Maybe not frequent updates but both the sendmail milter protocol and the
spamd protocol have seen changes which should be incorporated in the milter.
The spam landscape has changed which can trigger the need for changes in the
milter; EG originally my milter just punted on any oversized message and gave
it a pass. As spammers started tacking on large images/PDFs/DOCs etc on the
end of their spam they quickly grew to a size larger than what you'd want to
try to feed to SA. So I responed to that by truncating a large message and
only passing the first N-KB to SA. As that involves munging MIME headers
it has to be done inside the milter.
Long story short, when I first got miltrassassin 12 years ago it was ~900
lines, it's now more than double that size. Some of that was bug fixes,
porting to new platforms, etc but most was adding features I wanted.
