Mailscanner plus SpamAssassin and CRM114

I have become a big fan of Mailscanner in the last couple of months
and have installed it on all our mail systems.

I have been comparing the quality of the spam rejection from
Spamassassin (with Bayes, Razor et al) vs the spam filter in my copy
of Eudora.  Despite teaching, SpamAssassin does not seem to come up
to the level of Eudora's filter.

I have recently discovered CRM114 (crm114.sourceforge.net) which
claims and does produce very accurate results.  Using the distributed
learnt files, it was almost 100% accurate.

Obviously I would like to integrate this into my Mailscanner setup.
I can potentially do it by adding a stage before MS but I was
wondering if there might be a better way?  Unfortunately I cannot
find one as I can find no way to make MS or SA call a program to
check for spam.  Before I try to add such a mechanism, I thought I
would ask here to see if anyone else could think of a route.

Regards.
Simon.
