…but you appear to be talking about amavis/clamd. There isn't a
shared Amavis nor clamd at the moment. I did look into clustering
clamd but it didn't look amenable to clustering¹. So that never
happened, which is a pity.
It may be that Amavis supports clustering in itself, i.e. you
install Amavis (and spamd and clamd) on multiple hosts and just talk
Amavis protocol between client and cluster. I haven't looked into
this. This would be an additional service and I'm not convinced a
lot of people would switch to using Amavis to make use of it..
To be honest the shared spamd service requires a lot more attention
than I'm willing to give. I don't want to do it for money, so if you
do want to pay money for an anti{spam,virus} service I would
recommend you look into
http://antibody.mx/ who are both a BitFolk
customer and used by several other BitFolk customers already.
Cheers,
Andy
¹ IIRC it has an awful protocol which is FTP-like in that you
connect to it and it tells the client which additional port to
connect to in order to send the (potentially massive) data to be
scanned.
