Thank you for the smtpd_recipient_restrictions information. I have been
using Postfix on a test network first, as you suggest.

As far as implementing SpamAssassin with Postfix, I was looking at
Mailscanner or amavisd-new. Do you have a simpler suggestion for calling
SA from within the recipient_restrictions checks?

Thanks,
