Sure. We use spamassassin and amavis-new for scanning. Scanning takes place on each mail server, with local (memory-filesystem-based) storage for the temporary files. The only time data hits the netapp is for final delivery of the message.

You are indeed correct. You quite obviously don't want to touch the netapp unless you have to do so; nfs is expensive.
