postscreen is cool.  It's a single fairly small process that handles the
initial connection for inbound mail and it runs a number of fast and
cheap anti-spam measures, like verifying the forward and reverse lookups
of the EHLO name and remote IP number in the TCP connection.

Once the incoming connection as passed this pre-screen, it gets handed
of to the normal postfix smtpd process for processing: it's only at this
stage that you'ld run heuristic anti-spam rules that do detailed
analysis of message content.

	Cheers,
