I am running 2.6 on a P4-2.4GHz that gets about 1/3 that amount of traffic and most of my analyses are completed in under .25 seconds. The box is running RH9.0 and using postfix to call procmail.
A few things I can recommend that speed things up: 1) Turn off RBL lookups 2) Run a local caching DNS daemon 3) Check your swap space and increase phsical memory if you are using it 4) Make sure spamd is set up to spawn enough children if things are beign queued up by the default. Here's my stats for the past couple of hours (I zeroed my logs this morning): Number of spams : 6076 ( 74.10%) Number of clean messages : 2124 ( 25.90%) Average message analysis time : 0.22 seconds Average spam analysis time : 0.23 seconds Average clean message analysis time : 0.20 seconds Average message score : 11.68 Average spam score : 16.49 Average clean message score : -2.12 Total spam volume : 29 Mbytes Total clean volume : 7 Mbytes On Wed, 8 Oct 2003, Diego Weinstein wrote: > I'm using SA 2.6 spamd/spamc > > I'm using it in a very loaded server, I get arround 2 mail connections > per second. > I want to know if there are people having this kind of load, or even > bigger, cause I don't think this should be a big load for the server. > > The server is Pentium III 1 ghz, 512 MB ram. > Linux and postfix as mta. > > I've noticed many mails beeing analyzed by SA for more than 400 seconds. > So because of this, the mail quere starts growing. > I've tried the timeout in spamc -t, so I've noticed that spamc gives me > back the mail, but spamd keeps analyzing it, reaching the times already > mentioned. > Any Ideas about this? > > Is SA supose to work with big loads. > > To have a stable server, I had to make a script which runs every 10 > sends, to stop analyzing when the queue gets to 400 mails and to start > again when it gets to 100 mails.
