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.

Cheers,

Bojan
