Running spamd in another host

Hi,

   I'll try to explain the situation clearly. I have a very busy  
server running qmail+vpopmail+qmail-scanner+spamassassin+clamd, a  
typical setup.

   The problem is that in the last weeks, and due to an increasing  
amount of spam and a growing amount of domains -and, due to it, mails  
to be scanned-, the server performance is starting to be serioulsy  
affected by the spamd daemons.

   I'd like to run the spamd proccess in another host in order to free  
resources from the mailhost, and I tried to redirect 127.0.0.1:783 ->  
the_other_host:localhost:783 (and, of course, stopping first the local  
spamd process) but despite the remote spamd.log shows the normal  
scanning and tagging activity, the local messages are spam-tagged as  
?/?, which means there's some kind of contiguration error. I reverted  
the configuration to the original state to get all running properly  
again.

   As the spamd daemon has the "-A" option to specify which hosts are  
allowed to connect to it, I suppose there must be some kind of switch  
or configuration available somewhere in order to get the spam analysis  
to be made against another another host insted of localhost -which I  
guess its done by default-. I've reviewed carefully the qmail-scanner  
options and have found nohting about this. How can I achieve this task?

Thanks in advance,

Ruben.
