How is it possible to change something like required_hits when SA runs 
in the MTA with a fixed (server-wide) setting in amavis.conf?  Exactly 
what "policies" does the plugin allow?

Uh, so then how do you do your filtering if you're not using Cyrus 
(Sieve)?  Surely not with SM filtering - talk about inefficient...  :) 
I don't use Procmail, but I've never seen Maildrop become a bottleneck 
(everything in the SMTP realm will always be slower I believe).

I am not suggesting amavis isn't a good tool, just not so sure that 
running SA in the MTA is more efficient or more flexible (certainly not 
the latter).  And, of course, there's any number of ways to achieve the 
integration of all these features.  In fact, if your plugin puts its SA 
config items in a user pref database, what's the difference between it 
and SASQL?
