For one, the spam detection will be integrated into one place, so either
the RBL's or SpamAssassin will cause MailScanner to tag the mail as spam.

Also, it should actually be faster, as MailScanner calls the Perl API
within SpamAssassin directly, and does not invoke either the "spamassassin"
binary or "spamc" in order to do the checks, saving the load on starting
those processes.
