It would be interesting to see, for a lowish mail volume, how well spamd would run on a headless RaspberryPi Model B. Its hard to think of a cheaper bit of kit to use. The current model Bs have 512MB of RAM, and work well when run headless. There are instructions available that detail how to configure a new RPi/B's SD card for headless operation before you boot it for the first time. Perl 5.14 is included in the standard RPi Debian distro. Up to the start of last year I was managing perfectly well with spamd on a 512Mb 866MHz P3 box running Fedora, where it got to share memory with Apache, Postgres, Postfix, getmail and Dovecot plus a fair development load, so I reckon that it should be fine on a 1GHz Rpi with the same sized memory.
