I think you would propably be able to establish that with the following: Amavisd-new: an smtp proxy for spam and virii postfix: anyway, propably anything compatible with Amavisd-new will do nportredird: or similar, a proxy featuring load balancing, maybe just iptables MTA receives the email as usual. It passes the mail to filter (amavisd-new) via smtp call. Put here theport redirector proxy or iptables rule, so that the call is redirected to some of the cluster. Mail will be scanned thru, and fet back to MTA for final delivery. No hard to do, and the result would be just what you need. spamd would propably be unnecessary, as afaik amavisd-new do it's part: it is resident, and loads spamassassin code with it.
