I sent a local email as a test and spamd had a fit for about 10sec. I
downloaded 6 emails via fetcmail from my isp and the harddisk had a fit
for about 20mins!! I hate to think what would happen if I d/l 200
messages, which is about normal for a day.
spamassassin uses lots of RAM. Most content filtering antispam
measures are very heavyweight. I think you will need to get a
better machine or run your content filtering elsewhere.
Absolutely.
Spamassassin here for 10 users with two users getting a couple hundred
messages a day keeps an Atlon 2500 with a gig of RAM busy most of the
day, with load averages hitting 1 occasionally.
SA is a hog. But a useful hog. ;-)
