Hey Bob,
    I was able to get SpamAssassin (spamd) running with exim4-heavy-daemon.
Problem was processing volumes of mail much more than 5 or so - the PC would
simply crawl to a stop and had constant disk io. It became unusable trying
to read mail with an IMAP client. With lower volumes it was fine.
