SpamAssassin is what I use, along with ClamAV and  Amavisd-new. I'll
be adding Maia Mailguard into the mix in the next iteration of the
machine.

You don't specify anything about your environment, so it's hard to
give much more advice. However, I can make one very good
recommendation:

The Book of Postfix, by Hildebrandt and Koetter
