I'd be interested to hear opinions about the least "overhead" heavy
spam killer.  SpamAssassin is grinding the U2 (where I do volunteer
admin work) into the ground.  

At this point, we are either going to have to "firewall" ourselves
soon, or shut down the server.  (We are in the DMZ of 
$big_company--they donate the bandwidth and datacenter
space).

AFAICT, we are running SA in spamd/c mode, but it's still killing
the server.  Of course between bouncebacks from virii and spam,
the "junk mail" ratio is about 95%.  Our users won't let us /dev/null
stuff b/c they claim SA has too high of a false positive rate (I 
haven't seen that myself).

Suggestions appreciated.
