[OT] Making two machines talk to one another
Hello,
I am attempting to offload SA to a machine that is not my main MX server.
I have two machines, two NIC cards and a crossover cable, but after that I
get very lost. I believe there should be a way to make them aware of one
another using this direct connection w/out the need for DHCP or a router....
but I have no idea how to set this up. Can someone offer advice or point me
in the direction of where I should be looking, reading, asking?
many thanks!

No, I am looking for help on setting up the actual networking between the
machines. Software level setup is the easy part. ;) One nice soul gave me
this offlist:
----------
On RedHat variants, at least, in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
assuming the 2nd NIC card is device eth1....
on the 2nd nic for both. use a different IP/subnet than your LAN.
machine one - 10.10.0.1/255.255.255.0 gateway 10.10.0.1
machine two - 10.10.0.2/255.255.255.0 gateway 10.10.0.1
should be able to ping back and forth once you plug in the crossover
cable.
create iptable rules/excepts if needed.
replace 10.10.0.x with whatever non-routable RFC compliant subnet you
want to use.

If I understand you right, you want to the checking on another machine?
Look for spamd / spamc the spamassassin daemon and client.
