I'm using a third party filtering software (Xamime from xamime.com). It has a Prefiltering method which uses spamassassin to scan emails before using its own filtering method. The software execute a shell script to invoke spamassassin(spamd/spamc) to scan emails with has the following lines: spamc -x -t 30 < $mailpack > $mailpack.tmp I used to restart the spamassassin daemon to get back to normal load. It's approx 100 email throughput by the time the load increases. Any idea/suggestions ? Please help Us and thanks in advance.
