spamc is very lightweight. As long as your OS can handle having that
many pipes open, and do a decent job of scheduling the processes and
their IO, spamc won't have any issues.
The real question is how much load will spam*d* place on the system it
is on. Note that you can put spamd on a different system, and even
have multiple systems and use some load balancing technique.
