Integrated into exim using local_scan, stop spam instead of simply tagging it.
1. You can run SA without forking Perl processes for each mail arriving.
You can greatly reduce system load by using spamd and spamc.
2. You can drop mail when it has been tagged.
3. If I were your customer and you did 2, I'd quit.
4. smtp-callback is beautiful.
