No docs.. some guidelines though.

Set 'n' similar servers with MailScanner + MTA + MailWatch. Identify one 
of them as the Database server (or have an altogether different DB 
server). Configure Mailwatch.pm and conf.php on every server to talk to 
the database on this server (and additionally SQLBlacklist.pm).

To reduce complication install but do not use MailScanner + MTA + 
MailWatch + SA (with rules) on the DB server as well. Make sure you 
rsync the MailScanner configuration files and any extra rules that you 
use in SA.

Now see if each server can ping to every other server using their 
respective FQDNs (read Fully qualified hostnames). Additionally each 
server ought to be able to access apache (port 80) on every other server.

This should get you started.. more can be taken up on the mailwatch list 
if required.
