It is relatively easy to add another spam filter.
A few years ago I did basically a cut-and-paste of the SpamAssassin code to 
make the Bogofilter support.

The gotcha in the present setup is that you have to select a filter in the 
Amavis code. It cannot be done via the config file.
This means that updates overwrite your selection.
