A few possibilities, some of which you may already be doing...Hello all,I am using spamc for all users through /etc/procmailrc on 4 servers and spamassassin works great. The problem is that it loads up the CPU to 4.0 and often 10.0 or above. How can I reduce this? Eliminate razor check is one I have seen on some other posts. What would be the best to try? I have let it run for about 10 minutes before having to turn it off but I calculate that this could block about 6500 messages per hour. That is serious SPAM reduction. So thanks for that! Suggestions appreciated. I am running RedHat 8.0 on Quad Xeons with spamassasin (spamd) version spamassassin-2.31-16 ( version OK? ) with this for an /etc/procmailrc file: DROPPRIVS=yes :0fw * < 256000 | spamc :0: * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes /dev/null Thanks
I'd suggest running spamd on a seperate box if possible.
Consider running spamd as user spamd (or some other user), with no (or with sql-based) user config.
Set "noatime" on the razor pref. files and the AWL files.
Set max-children to a low enough value to prevent swapping (mail will queue up for a bit, then move through under high volumes instead of thrashing).
You have 70K users and they haven't killed you for piping tagged spam to /dev/null? Count yourself lucky. I have a few who want to tar and feather me because some spam still gets through, and a few who want to string me up because the occational HTML-laden email from a hotmail account relayed through a AT&T connection gets marked as SPAM.
