Different functions on different machines is more of a Microsoft view
of the universe.  With Linux you only need to start separating functions
if there is a specific reason such as CPU load or geographical separation
of DNS servers.

I'd just migrate the functions one at a time to a new machine.

Meanwhile, I'd use spamassassin out of per-user procmail to solve the
OP's dilemma.  You can set this up on one test account and mess with
it until you're happy, without affecting other users.  Then you can
move the procmail config to a system-wide procmailrc.
