Switching to Rspamd has some advantages:
* It is probably faster than SA[1] (C + Lua vs Perl)
* We can reduce the number of moving parts. Rspamd has built-in DKIM
signing, greylisting, DMARC checking to name a few
* It doesn't just mark the mail as spam/not-spam, it gives every mail a
score and depending on the score it does either: nothing, greylist it,
mark it as spam or reject it[2] (more actions is available and it can
be tweaked)
* Replies whitelisting[3]
* It supports ARC signing, which can be useful
* A cool looking WebUi :)
* ... and more[4]...

Why?
- Rspamd is faster according to some sources
- It scales better (event-driven vs pre-fork)
- We can reduce the number of moving parts. Rspamd can replace OpenDKIM, Postgrey and probably also Postfwd
- DMARC support
- ARC support (could be useful for the mailing list)
- Replies whitelisting
- WebUi
