Hi all,
I am setup Postfix 2.5 to run on Linux box with 2 x 1.2 G PIII and 1280MB
RAM server.
I also setup a list of firewall rules (iptables) for restricting port 25
access.
In compare of own access table in Postfix, which way has better performance
when the server is high-loaded? I noticed that there were some discussion on
the performance of harddisk, but regarding to my assumption above, I think
hard disk performance may not be the biggest factor, is that true?
Best,
Jacky
Postfix itself should run fine on such hardware. If you add
filtering such as clamav and/or spamassassin you may have
performance issues if you filter more than a few thousand
messages per day.
