[mbneto]

Matt,

I use Linux (Fedora distro to be more precise) and face the same
problem.   Actually what I am more interested is trying to find out is
how to proper determine the bottleneck in order to deploy a solution.

This can be an upgrade or adding a second/third server to balance
things out.  A more "standard" solution that I've read is to use 2
servers : one to perform the scanning and the second to provide
storage (as a NFS server) so when the MTA delivers the message locally
it is actually drops it at another server.
