I've started using rspamd in place of SpamAssassin and have been having 
good results. Built in greylisting, support for spamassassin rules, nice 
statistics web based GUI.

Only downside is that it can be quirky during the initial setup.  It 
depends on redis for its key lookup backend.  Not a big fan of redis, 
but it works, especially if you have to support multiple rspamd 
instances on different mail servers, and want to have one main backend 
to store all the spam/ham hashes in.
