Any hint?

Emanuele,

Store user info in mysql database. Using perl or php, POP forward new mail,
then scan with bogofilter (Bayesian) and ClamAV(anti-virus). Mark up the
header. Determine destination (good, bad, uncertain). Move mail to
destination, or smtp directly to recipient, maintaining all headers. Stir
well, serve chilled.

See http://spameater.com/ for a working example of such a system.
