At this point, it's still an "if" not "when" question. There is some
high level discussion going on right now, but I'm not directly
involved. The problem that most resellers will have to reckon with
(and which you all can give input to) is that mail must be routed
off-site (it can stay in the same data center, but it has to make an
extra pass through an MX logic mail server) before it arrives at the
VPS (this means an MX record change for each domain you have on the
server). Another drawback for resellers is that it must be
administered centrally (i.e., you have to login to a central interface
to set your account preferences, etc.). It does have false positives,
just like current solutions offered on VPS.

In practical use (MX Logic is being used on the rapidsite shared
hosting plans), it performs about the same as SpamAssassin with
Bayesian filters and ClamAV combined.

You might also consider some of the myriad other solutions native to
sendmail (dnsbls) or in your /usr/ports/mail/ directory
(milter-greylist and milter-regex are good ones). There are several
other very good pure-baysian classifiers that are much faster (and
lower maintenance) than spamassassin.
