i _have_ to deliver to the nexthop MTA - _not_ to mboxes/maildirs (as i
said.) so the point is that dspam _has_ to classify the mail - besides
of ram/disk i/o no difference to a "real" (non-gateway) email toaster
where i write to mboxes/maildirs. from the point of cpu overhead its
exactly the same - dspam classifies mail and needs cpu power, if this
loads the box like hell you have limit your dspam execs, that aint good
if your backqueue is getting real big but its way better than swapping
(modern MTA`s are pretty good when it comes to queue management). fact
is: you have to limit the dspam execs on that machine, otherwise you
will kill every 4 x xeon/32gb ram/raid-10 box rather quickly.
i dont use dspam alone and that makes the difference (my postfix
backqueue is empty 99% of the time!).

use additional anti-spam/av protection, throw hardware on it.
