[[ Dude! Long time, no read... but who could forget an email address like yours... ;-) ]]
For the past couple of weeks or so, like most of you, I've seen total spam volume almost double again. At this point, the server in question (dual PIII-550 L440GX)
How much RAM? I had a problem with this as well, between doing RBL lookups (using RBLSMTPD, not SA), a load of valid mail, a whopping load of spam, and an Athlon 1800+, 2 SCSI disks & 512Meg of ram, I saw a load of +120! I have no idea how the system had enough oomph left to even show me that... but rebooting didn't even help; I had barely enough time to get logged back in before it went into a tailspin...
Tossed in *another* 512Meg of RAM & rebooted yet again -- memory spiked to about 875Meg used -- sat there for about 30 seconds (but load stayed < 4.00), then slowly started coming down to around 375Meg...
Either try limiting the number of spamd instances you have running, or poke in some more RAM... should do the trick...
