Of course, but:

- its feeding a pipeline:  "spamc | spamkiller" spamkiller launches
  sendmail when the score is less than 5.0

- incoming gets passed to postfix so it can: 
  - BCC a copy to my mail archive 
  - divert some (internal) messages, i.e. anything for root is sent
    to my usual login
  - divert mail for nonexistent users to my usual login
 
  before passing the message to Dovecot for delivery.

Noted, but my current setup has been stable for quite some time and does
exactly what I want it to do, so I see no need to rebuild ot redesign
it.
