and since we're at it; ASSP uses a whole arsenal of methods to detect
spam/notspam messages, and being a "frontline" filter MUST be as fast
as possible, this excludes the use of "longer than usual" checks; then,
if you need to perform some more costly (in terms of time/CPU/other...)
kind of filtering, you'd better consider a "second stage" filter, that
is a filter applied on the pipeline which, at end, brings to the end
user mailbox; in your case, you may consider using an instance of an
SMTP "router" (be it postfix, sendmail or whatever) which may perform
further checking on the incoming messages (already accepted by ASSP)
and "tag" them so that they'll be moved to the user's "spam" (or, in
case it exists, "virus") folder; but "forcing ASSP to wait for clamd"
is a very BAD idea, the next one would be forcing ASSP to wait a lot of
time for DNSBL/URIBL answers or pretending to have it run some deep and
time consuming checks on each and every incoming email and, at the very
same time, complaining for timeout, slowdowns and so on :P
