consider the Bayes system as a detector of SPAM, which 'technically' it isn't.
What it reports is how close a given message is to one of two sets, given that
it has been previously shown examples of each of the two
sets.

I'd go for dual opteron V20z if you want to stick with sun kit.
Will outperform the Sparc based stuff.
no need to heart-beat, just have the two machines on same MX value and
DNS will load balance for you.
Would be interesting to see how Solaris 10 compares with Linux in this

Richard, my day job is tech support for Sun mail systems. I support the
integration with both SpamAssassin and Brightmail.
Both do a very good job.

Oddly enough, we went up head-to-head with our SpamAssassin solution
against Brightmail three times in a row and won the customer every time.
This is running 2.64. We have a single 8-way 3500, but we'll probably be
upgrading that soon.
