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.
This is my current setup also. It's seems like I need to maintain separate boxes.
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.
Can you give me a hint as to how you do this. I like the idea of having multiple redundant spamclam boxes.
