SpamAssassin works well for large sites (given enough hardware of course).
How big exactly is the "large site"?  There's an ISP in south africa
filtering several million addresses with it, I think that's the
biggest. ;)

However, turn off Bayes -- that requires care and feeding.

Copperfast gets no google hits whatsoever btw.  odd.
