Technically. But slow.
I'd recommend running spamc, using spamassassin in client/server mode.
This cuts the rougly one-second overhead per message of spamassasin's
startup.
In /etc/defaults/spamassassin:
OPTIONS="--local --max-children 10 --create-prefs --auto-whitelist"
...is what I've selected. You're advised to read docs to understand
what this does.
For performance reasons, I also have in /etc/security/limits:
mail hard nproc 30
...to avoid runaway conditions when large mail loads hit. Mail
processing will be limited to a max of 30 processes (generally 10 exim
processes, 10 spamassassin clients, and a bit of overhead), but the
system as a whole won't be bogged.
Peace.
