Seriously...

1) don't use a RaQ in today's spam-heavy environment; they're simply 
underpowered.

2) if you're getting a lot of spam don't use spamassassin; spamassassin 
can overload a system all by itself.

3) don't use sendmail if you can help it; this might require you build a 
separate email server or use an outsource company.

We've built servers just to handle email, and use them as primary and 
secondary mx for our clients' domains; then forward the "cleaned-up" 
email to the client at a non-advertised address (on RaQs and other 
servers).
