Because you can KILL your mailservert if you get bombed by bot spam?

You can not trodle the resources of spamassassin and for this reason
there are "spamc/spamd" which then can be tuned.

Currently my mailserver is handling 50.000 legitim messages and over
400.000 spams per day... which are in fact 5-6 messages per second and
now imagine you open 50-200 instances of spamassassin at once.

My machine is a Quad-Xeon with 8 GByte of memnory and Raid-1 plus Hotfix
and I am sure, if I don not use "spamc/spamd" the machine would go down.
