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
