How difficult is it to split the spam and clam components off to a
different server?
Does someone have a "cook book" on how to set this up?
It's not hard. I believe simscan let's you specify the spamc
arguments (to talk to a remote spamd server). Regarding clamdscan, I
use clamd-stream-client, and call it with a shell script. On the
client system, I simply replace the clamdscan binary with my shell
script (which calls clamd-stream-client to talk to the remote clamd
server). No changes to the simscan setup needed for this.
