ever since 9am sharp, my server has jumped to a load average of 5-6 and is steady up there. I niced spamassassin but it's not much use, the LAMP is still slow, which means the websites on the server are extremely slow as it is. I stopped the Apache and MySQL and the load does not drop. Spam has finally hit the big time I suppose.
If spamassassin was doing the perfect job done by Google, I'd shut up, but it doesn't. it still leaves lots of false negatives in my box, and what's worse is, it takes such a long time to scan each mail, that legal ones fail and retry and end up arriving 2-3 times, or even 10. this is becoming very unworkable. Unless I find a better solution, I'll have to consider moving about 15 mail domains out to other hosts (And I am not too keen about google apps) I use spamd and clamav as daemons, triggered by simscan for qmail, and the quad-core Xeon is sweating like a pig. if anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them... -- What the world needs now Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
