I'm using Postfix with a few additions:
policyd-weight
www.policyd-weight.org
"weighted SMTP policy daemon for postfix, scored RBLs/RHSBLs
and HELO/MAIL FROM checks, avoiding faked spam and virus
before DATA."
clamsmtp
http://memberwebs.com/nielsen/software/clamsmtp/
"SMTP filter that allows you to check for viruses using the
ClamAV anti-virus software"
spampd
http://www.worlddesign.com/index.cfm/rd/mta/spampd.htm
"spampd acts as a transparent SMTP/LMTP proxy between two mail
servers, and during the transaction it passes the mail through
[SpamAssassin]"
I also use a post-filtering postfix rule to reject any high-ranking
SPAM before accepting it into the spool. This helps a lot, but I've
been getting a TON of SPAM through my Debian address. Stuff sent to
wookimus.net doesn't really make it through. If Debian servers
employed policyd-weight or similar policy testing daemon, I think the
SPAM would be greatly reduced.

I agree, but I don't think it's HORRIBLE to install. Perhaps not as
easy as others, simply because there aren't as many users as, say,
SpamAssassin. I use crm114 in my procmail scripts to filter out
things that the server didn't catch. It works wonderfully. Far
better than any other statistical program out there.
I would like to set up crm114 as a system-wide filter one of these
days. I provide IMAP/squirrelmail services to a couple of my friends,
and having a ham/spam-training setup would be nice.
If you're a good crm114 hacker, you can use it to process ANY
stream-based data. This includes log files, etc.
Honestly, if you haven't tried crm114 yet, and you're sick of SA's
performance, give it a shot.
For the most part, I can reject email with GIF's, since they're
usually image ads. Most of my friends don't bother sending GIF's,
rather JPEG's.
