The closest thing I can think of is policyd-weight 
( http://www.policyd-weight.org/ ), which I think is pretty darn close,
except that it runs pre-queue (while the SMTP session is still up)
and doesn't appear to support things like spamprobe.

I'm happy with... well I guess what I'm doing is pretty complicated, but
each step gets to reject anything as spam on its own, except for the last.

Authoritative steps (each gets to reject on its own)
* helo checks
* spf
* greylisting
* dnsbl: list.dsbl.org
* dnsbl: zen.spamhaus.org

And then as I just posted, spamprobe and spamassassin filter everything and
if they disagree I check it.

And I'm very happy with that.

I think the extra redundancy you get comparing spamassassin's output
directly to spamprobe's is worthwhile.  

I guess the only thing I'd like to be able to change would be getting
spamprobe to consider the rest of the dnsbl type stuff that spamassassin
uses - by adding each dnsbl's output as a token.
