myself, i cant see any reason not to run spamc/spamd. even on a *light*
load. as for what order to run pa and san, i do it sa first. that way the
10% of mail that i do get that is marked as spam i quareintine. therefor
it never even toutches tha sanitiser. this also makes it easier for me to
do sa -r without having to worry about removing defang stuff first,
