Outsource my mail?
Our primary business is website design. We also run our own web server,
and for some of our clients, we store their mail and run it through
Spamassassin.
Over the years, processing the mail has become about 90% of what our
server is doing during the day, and probably 99% at night. I'm afraid
that the web server is starting to suffer because of that. I was thinking
that perhaps I should split off the mail to its own seperate server,
but I can't justify doubling what I'm paying to my co-hosting provider
just for mail.
Are there any companies that offer mail storage services with
Spamassassin? What I'd like is that if I'm hosting xyzzy.com, I'd like
to have mail.xyzzy.com point to this 3rd party provider and have them
handle everything.

Shameless plug:
We do that too:
http://www.junkemailfilter.com/spam/
And - John Dvorak of PC Mag Plugs us on this week in Technology:
http://www.junkemailfilter.com/dvorak.mp3
The way it works is that you set your MX records to point to out servers
and we get your email - clean it - and send it to your server. Takes
just 5 minutes to set up. And - it's very affordable.

Nice idea. I'll see about adding our details to it as well

I created a wiki page here for third party services. Rather than a
comparisin matrix I figure why not just put the vendor propaganda there
and let people figure it out for themselves. I posted my stuff and I'm
encouraging other vendors to do likewise.

Finding a neutral 3rd party to do a comparison matrix would be
difficult, but interesting

I suggest putting all these links on the wiki. This way people don't
need to search the archives (and if the question is asked again, a
pointer would suffice).
and if someone has the courage to devise a comparison matrix... (neutral
if possible)

Since everybody else is plugging themselves ...
<shameless plug>
All our linux hosting plans come with mail filtering, so you can easily
put your mail with us and your site elsewhere.
Alternatively we have a pure email filtering solution with web-based
frontend to manage your quarantine, blacklists and whitelists

Another shameless plug. We also provide mail hosting and run incoming
mail through SpamAssassin. Users retrieve mail via POP3.

Yes there are plenty that provide that service as you have seen.
