I still use a filter to run spamassassin, not the built in version. This allows me to filter things such as mailing lists and such prior to invoking spamassassin so only a small percentage of my email incurs the cost of running spamassassin on it. And I don't use any of the network checks. Just bayes and selected rule sets. -- Scot L.
