If load is an issue, you would not want the scanning box to be the one
taking incoming mail directly from the internet. If you did set it up
that way and the scanning box became heavily loaded, it would start
refusing incoming connections. Better to have the gateway box just
receiving incoming mail. Then it can queue mail if the scanning box is
too busy to accept connections. It's a more resilient set-up, less
vulnerable to sudden surges in incoming mail.
