Yes, you understand right ;-)

That's exactly what i want to archieve. I hoped, that someone can tell 
me, how to combine these products,
which port to talk to, or generally how to start this combination 
working. I only know the implemented methods for local scanners.

Yes, that's right. I am using amavis, because it is also the connection 
to spamassassin.
A daisy chain (complete amavis processing and then mail to the 
appliance) is not possible, because i need the live REJECT-Feature of 
amavis and postfix.

Any ideas how to do this?
