Running MimeDefang is a good example. MimeDefang runs as a milter, does whatever spam/virus scanning and other processing you want, controlled by a small perl script in real time during the smtp conversation so it can reject based on the results. However it does not need a 1 to 1 ratio of perl processes to sendmail processes and does not make fast operations wait on slow ones due to the way the milter interface handles separate steps.
