As a competitor there is afew [1] which internally uses dbacl.

As of  other spam  filters per  se, I  know my  previous boss  wrote one
called SpamOracle  [2]. The tool  itself seems  to not see  much changes
these days (2003). I  do not use it myself, however  I know people using
it [3] and its very likely that the software is good enough and does not
need much maintenance.

Supporting multiple  tools would be great  and having a nice  way to use
several at  the same time  would be  cool... thinking of  your interface
seems  to trivially  support this  by simply  running the  tool multiple
times.
