please define "very busy". i run fprot+qs+sa2.4 as a mail gateway using dual p3 1ghz, 1gig ram, raid5, and process about 70k emails a day on it. it's actually 3 mta's with round robin DNS doing 200k+ messages a day. > Load average, with qmail-scanner jumps from 0.3-ish to 10+ > when Qmail-scanner > is turned on.
