Funny... on my system it's the exact opposite. Scans with clamd are
basically free, and spamassassin is the cpu hog. As a result, every
single message goes through clam first. Remaining messages go through
bogofilter, and then what's left goes through spamassassin. On a
typical day, clam gets about 45% of the junk, bogofilter gets another
45%, and spamassassin gets about 10%. Spamassassin sees only about a
quarter of all messages.
And all three scans are called very nicely from a simple mimedefang
filter. This has been working great for years.
NB: This is on a small mail relay which sees only ~200K messages per day.
