I setup Spam Assassin a few years ago and because we were on ancient
hardware [P3/500MHZ] it choked the CPU.  I know that the new version of SA
is also more optimized and we're obviously on much more capable hardware.
In the newer versions, the have changed the assignment algorithm:

Integrating SA into postfix and / or mailman [i forget what I did exactly]
was only a few configuration lines. I'm willing to plug it in again and
document if someone would kindly install the package.

Other request - we do need a lot of 'ham' - i.e., spam messages in an mbox
format.  So Dennis - if you would be so kind as to turn on POP3 for your new
gmail account and download the messages to an mbox format.  Then please
upload it to the clue server and send me the file specification.  This is
necessary to 'train' SA on real world spam.

Finally, I can provide to Jed the integration steps for our particular
environment to add to the admin wiki docs.

Let me know if you guys want me to do this activity.

HTH-
Jeff
