I use them together, although I am sure there are situations in which you
could roll all body and header checks into SpamAssassin.

1. we use SpamAssassin and Amavisd to catch spam and forward it to a
central e-mail address.

2. We use header checks to block e-mail from specific e-mail addresses
from arriving in user's mailboxes.

3. We use body-checks as a first step in blocking virus-laden e-emails,
checking for the existence of certain filenames in the body of the
message (e.g. *.src, *.vba, etc.)

We could probably do Step 2 in SpamAssassin but we like it this way.
