The following setup by the front line mx's (2 of them) for apache.org 
can handle ~1million messages/day for a total of 2million without 
breaking a sweat.

No .procailrc involved.

/etc/rc.conf:
postfix_enable="YES"
sendmail_enable="NO"
sendmail_submit_enable="NO"
sendmail_outbound_enable="NO"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"

rbldnsd_enable="YES"
rbldnsd_flags="MASKED OUT"

svscan_enable="YES"

clamav_clamd_enable="YES"
clamav_freshclam_enable="YES"

spamd_enable="YES"
spamd_pidfile="/var/run/spamd/spamd.pid"
spamd_flags="--min-children=4 --max-children=40 --min-spare=2 
--max-spare=8 --max-conn-per-child=100 -c -d 
--socketpath=/var/run/spamd/socket --socketmode=0777 -r ${spamd_pidfile}"

Thats FreeBSD 6.x (soon to be 7.x when I update it)
httpd 2.2.9+worker mpm with qpsmtp using mod_perl

in my consulting buss, for sendmail I use the following sendmail.mc snippet:

INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`clmilter',`S=local:/var/run/clamav/clmilter.sock, F=, 
T=S:4m;R:4m')
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`spamassassin', `S=local:/var/run/spamass-milter.sock, 
F=, T=C:15m;S:4m;R:4m;E:10m')
define(`confMILTER_MACROS_ENVRCPT',`r, v, Z')
define(`confMILTER_MACROS_CONNECT',`b, j, _, {daemon_name}, {if_name}, 
{if_addr}')


That said, all individual users do you ~/.procmailrc, with the following 
rule:
:0
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
spam
