Postfix content filter/milter
Are there any postfix users out there who can recommend a way to delete
mail based on spamassassin results? Specifically I need to know how to
use a content filter or milter, and which one to use.
Cheers!

By far the best method is to use "amavisd-new" together with Postfix!
Amavisd-New --> http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/
Postfix conf ---> http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/README.postfix.txt

Thanks Greg! That was by far the easiest solution, although I'm looking into
clam-av and amavisd-new as well, so thanks to you other guys too!

Well, if you like the easy way, you can also do this.

;-)
That is what I do.
It will save you from having to learn amavisd-new (or another milter) and
having to install and upkeep amavisd-new (or another milter).
Unless there is something specific in amavisd-new that you really need,
there is not much reason to use it just for Spamassassin IMO.

The simple way...
If you are running postfix at the server, you can use HEADER_CHECKS
HEADER_CHECKS runs *after* Spamassassin, so it can detect spam points added
by SA in the header.
So, lets say you wanted to redirect anything with 15 points or more to a
certain email address, or even just delete it at the server... you could
do it with HEADER_CHECKS rules.
Do a search in a search engine to find the syntax.
