I use stock Exim in Debian. I then run Clam-AV (clam-assassin) and
Spamassassin (spamd/spamc) from procmail. Dilivery to the end user
is via Dovecot-TLS (POP or IMAP).
You can hook spamassassin into exim at recieve time if you want, but
I've not done it myself.
I've found that Clam-assassin with added phish.ndb and scam.ndb works
very well, I find the clam filters out more mail than spamassassin at
the moment, by a factor of at least 2.
