I plan to setup a single box running FreeBSD, postfix, spamassassin, amavisd and clam. What kind of box should I get. Currently I have two boxes the first one is an Athlon running postfix and the second is RH with amavisD and F-sesure it's a dual PIII the loads is between 3 and 4 during the day.
I would like to see what other people with similiar volume are doing
Thanks,

250,000 messages per minute, hour, day, week, month? the answer rather dramatically affects the discussion.
regardless however, i'm a strong proponent of decentralization, not consolidation. my MX's do no processing to speak of besides being a place for incoming messages to queue. those messages feed to a dedicated spamassassin/clamav server. from there they go to the delivery server, where customers pick them up via POP3, IMAP, webmail. if i need to do maintenance on the spamclam server, i simply redirect the messages directly to the delivery server from the MX'es. i also have cron jobs that will redirect automatically if the queue backlog gets over a certain threshold. i can add more spamclam servers as load and volume increase over time.
decentralization facilitates scaling.
