Just a heads-up, then.

A regular FAQ on the SA-Talk list is how to integrate SA into someone's
IMAP/POP3 server, and once Dovecot gets popular, you'll start seeing that
question here.

I run SA from sendmail via MIMEDefang (to reject the egregious stuff), and
from procmail on delivery (to tag and quarantine the borderline stuff). I'm
not sure why people would use it in the IMAP server, but the question does
come up.

well I don't use it directly from the imap persay but here is most likely
why.
I use postfix, dovecot and maildrop. With this setup you can have you email 
filtered for you so when you log into your imap account it is already 
filtered and were everything should go. I also in my case have maildrop setup 
to do the spam and virii filtering. This comes in handy for being able to let 
the users adjust their own email settings. All this also ties in perfectly 
with squirrelmail which I have running on top of dovecot also.

SA is more appropriate at the MTA level, not the MDA/MUA level. I'm not 
sure why it would come up either. It's generally called from Procmail or 
someplace like that.
