suggestions for spam-filter?

Any suggestions for what spam-filter to use? I've looked into several, and have decided against SpamAssassin (since it is apparently very resource-intensive and slow). The one's I'm looking at include dspam, bogofilter, and spambayes. Any suggestions / additions?

I quite like QSF. It's worked really well for me...

For how long has QSF worked well for you? Is there an ebuild for it?

I've used it on FreeBSD, Solaris and Linux. It has been rock solid and accurate for me. I don't believe there's an ebuild (not on Gentoo right now). However it's trivial to build it from source...

We use ASSP http://assp.sourceforge.net. It works VERY well. Currently our deployment processes almost 400,000 emails / day and our spam detection rate is hovers around 97%-98%.

It is a hightly successful project. Shortly we will be implementing SPF http://spf.pobox.com as part of this as well. All mail is routed to Exchange on the backend.

I had never heard of the app prior to doing my research but my company (180 people) is very happy I found it!

We run it on Gentoo (of course) with qmail as the mailrelay behind it (used as a direct email relay for our webservers etc.

I use DSPAM myself - it was a biatch to setup as the ebuilds floating around don't support PostgreSQL (yet - hopefully) and I could never get the secure bit it work properly (not that it bothers me as only I have shell access on the box)

Much better than SpamAssassin imho
