I run qmail/H+Bev AV/SpamAssassin with
backhair.cf
bigevil.cf
chickenpox.cf
popcorn.cf
weeds.cf
plus a couple custom cf files, totaling about 70 rules
I average about +70K messages a day with 66% being spam
Using a Dual Athlon 2200MPX w/512MB RAM. The load stays around .1 to .3
At the time of typing this message 'w' comes back with
2:29pm up 160 days, 17:18, 2 users, load average: 0.23, 0.25, 0.20
And 'top' comes back with:
CPU0 states: 0.3% user, 1.3% system, 0.0% nice, 97.3% idle
CPU1 states: 0.0% user, 3.0% system, 0.0% nice, 96.4% idle
On those days when I hit the +100K mark I wish that I put more RAM in. Once
SA start using Swap space it's all over.
