I guess I should mention that we will likely be running this through mimedefang or some other sendmail milter instead of procmail and spamd. I understand that mimedefang has its own overhead and memory issues but I was wondering about the SA component. The reason I am more interested in a default configuration is we have many machines and individually customising SA for all the machines would take to much time, so we are likely to just pick one configuration and push it out to all our machines. I was thinking of running without network tests because we have dnsbl enabled through sendmail before spamassassin runs, but if surbls don't add to much overhead we might turn on networks test but only for surbls.
