Please note our mail server is failing and I am pulling together the
resources and time to replace it. (if anyone has a good antispam setup

Do you want hundreds of ms, or even seconds, induced latency on your
link because your ISP massively overbuffers at their end on their
shaper?

yep.

The ideal answer is for the ISP gear to have a shaper that works well
at all speeds for their customers.
