Hi,

in general spamassassin needs much more CPU power than clam. But no
software is supposed to lock up a server :-). What MTA (and other
related software) do you use? Which OS?

Yeah the locking up was a bit of a shock to us too :) I mean, we thought maybe mail would crash and burn, which is relatively easy to fix, but machines completely locking up is a bit of a rarity. The worst part was having to do an fsck on 40 gigs of mail when it rebooted, not fun at all :)

Our MTA is qmail 1.03, modified in places to suit our needs (which means we can't really use any off the shelf virus checking software because the patches no longer work with our code :) The server is also running apache to run imp webmail, but i doubt that would be causing any problems. Binc IMAP is running in the background as well, but thats been running with no problems for a while now so probably isn't part of the equation either. The OS Slackware 8.1 running kernel 2.4.18.

I'm sorry, I can't help you here. I'm too much into Postfix... You may have more lock by searching the archives w/ resp to qmail/qmail-scanner(?).
