I have my running on a 486 with only 20MB!! It runs fine but I had to make sure that one and only one mail is being processed at a time [sendmail and queues did the job here]. I managed to process over 1000 mails in less than 5 hours running spamd on nice 19. I know that without the daemon, it took about 30s for each mail with lots of swap. With the daemon, [most messages I get are from debian mailing lists so they are not huge], it takes less than 5s per message with little swap. But, no matter what the machine you have, you have to cap it down or it will not handle a large enough load. - Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
