Sure. The gateway consists of 4 machines, IBM x345 servers. Each server is independent (MX record points to all of them). It has a local SCSI disk on a LSI controller for the system, and a very fast ServeRaid controller for postfix spool and MySQL database used by SpamAssassin. Each server has 2.5 GB of memory and 2 Xeon 2.8 GHz CPUs. Amavisd-new runs in ramdisk and is given 512 MB, that leaves the machine with 2 GB of memory for other stuff. I found that I can allow up to 30 amavisd-new process without any swapping. Servers process about 700.000 messages per day which expand to almost 2 million e-mails (one message can have multiple recipients, but is scanned only once). Amavisd-new calls 2 AV programs (Kaspersky and ClamAV) and SpamAssassin with a lot of extra rules and tweaking, including ImageInfo and FuzzyOCR. If you need more information let me know.
