I have a similar number of accounts on my mail server. I have a P4 1.5GHz 1G RAM Dell workstation running spamd. The box coasts most of the day and works hard during a spam storm. We process an average of just over 50,000 messages per day. We call spamc from the global procmailrc. We don't process message over 250K in size and our average processed message size is about 9K. Over half of those messages are tagged as spam with a default required_hits of 8. Only you know if that information is helpful to your situation. -- Scott Lambert KC5MLE Unix SysAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Influence the future of Java(TM) technology.
