PII/450/512M, running sendmail+MIMEDefang+clamav+SA. Running pretty close to the limit of its ability- mail spikes cause queue backups. (Over 3K messages at one point last week.) In serial message processing from inbound SMTP, it can probably reach somewhere just short of 60 messages/minute; delivering from the queue with no inbound can reach 120/minute on a good day. (AV scans are almost as process-expensive as SA.) I'm seriously looking into setting up another box to *just* run spamd to take the SA processing load off of this one. Longer-term mail load: ~85K messages/week, ~1G data volume- although this is down quite a bit from a few weeks ago when it hit almost 2G (!!). -kgd -- "Sendmail administration is not black magic. There are legitimate technical reasons why it requires the sacrificing of a live chicken." - Unknown ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
