I'm not sure yet, I will have to evaluate how iPlanet separates the MTA and
MDA.  I'm thinking that yes, SpamAssassin will need its own powerful server,
perhaps using the spamd and spamc client-server model.

I'm definitely going to advocate them to use at least Razor and open relay
blacklists if SpamAssassin turns out to be inadequate.

Suggestions welcome.
