You feel it's acceptable to occasionally lose important mail to heuristics.
I feel otherwise. This really reinforces my belief that per-user UCE rules
are important. Now, if you know of a good way to accomplish that in the MTA,
I'd love to hear it. Otherwise, I'm not interested in your postfix
configuration, and I doubt the rest of the info-cyrus list is either.

So essentially your reason for wanting this in the MTA boils down to CPU
usage? Interesting, I'm not sure how much of a problem this is for people.
(I do know, though, you should probably not be using bodychecks. They are
not efficient, particularly with large messages. See the recent threads
about them on postfix-users.)
