just to explain. I have 2 boxes *now* not at the end, unless I understand I
definitely need them. And I need to get to a solution before tomorrow...


I really want to get to a situation out of emergency in which to study
better why if I enable dns (spamassassin settings) everything goes so slow,
MailScanner processes Checking with spam list and so on.

Tha's the only reason why I wanted to split *temporarily* the services.

Would the same problems arise with imap server if I have a server for
postfix/mailscanner dropping files in an nfs mounted dir for courier imap/pop?
