250MB swapped, for less than 1 GB RAM, used is disastrous for an MTA.
Increase RAM to 2GB, or until swap is always "0k used"

that's correct, and OK.

truncate is a good RBL, in my experience of a couple months. Its picks up some

I do the same by harvesting the IPs that fail SMTP AUTH a number of times, and
