    I run Exim with ClamAV and SpamAssassin, which in turn delivers to Cyrus. Works like a charm, and it's really easy to set up from ports. With the exiscan features in Exim (compiled in per default in the port) it hooks neatly into ClamAV and SA and other av/antispam software as well, so you don't have to write a lot of custom directors and transports..

    I haven't tried it in a large-scale installation though, the personal server I run it on now only handles about 20 accounts or so.
