Feature request!

The ability to chose an A-V product from a largish range and use that
with MailScanner is good. Even better is the ability to run two or more
of those A-V products in "series" (we do this using Sophos & McAfee).

I would like to do something similar with the anti-spam tool. At present
only SpamAssassin seems to be on offer. It would be nice if there was a
well defined API offered by MailScanner that allowed alternative
anti-spam products or home-grown software to be used. Even better if two
or more anti-spam packages can be run in "series".

The motivation for this request is to be able to experiment with some
home-written anti-spam software, for example, a Bayesian filter (see
http://www.paulgraham.com/spam.html).
