RE: [SAtalk] server specs

[Todd Schuldt]

SA is also file IO intensive.  It depends on your hard drive system for the file IO as well – using IDE or SCSI or SAN?  Hard or soft RAID?  If hardware RAID what cache size and what mode 0, 1, 5, 10, 50?  What drive speed?  Also depends on OS choice and MTA.   I use RH 7.3 with CommuniGate Pro on a single P3-800/133, 768mb ECC, RAID 5 10k SCSI3/Ultra with hardware RAID 128mb cache – I fill the t1 before the system slows down with smtp/pop/smtpi traffic (50 channels smtp, 50 channels smtpi, 50 channels pop) on a 200 account domain running 10 listserves with SA scan times that average at most a second.                       \\^//                     {. .} ----------------oO0o-(_)-o0Oo----------------   Todd   My 2 cents worth - wait that mean's I owe you cause my opinions aren't worth a penny!       -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wiebren Braakman Sent: Monday, October 20, 2003 8:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SAtalk] server specs   I am buying a new server to scan e-mails with spamassassin. What is the optimal ratio of processor capacity, memory and cache. it will probably become a Intel xenon 3.05 GHz processor so what matters is how much cache and memory optimal is to go with this processor.   How much e-mails per hour could a system like this scan.
