    do you receive a _lot_ of spam? if you are running into recource
    problems because of spam, you should look into greylisting:

    http://www.greylisting.org/
    http://projects.puremagic.com/greylisting/whitepaper.html

    greylisting for exim + spamassassin:
    http://greylisting.org/implementations/sa-exim.shtml

    i use greylisting with postfix, spamassassin and virus-scanners with
    amavis-new. spamassassin hardly has any work to do since i implemented
    greylisting.

    so long,
    randy
