Amavisd-new launches spamassasin in perl form rather then use spamd. The fedora core machines running amavisd-new are both 2.4 dual xeons with 4gb of memory Amavisd-new virus scanning and spam scanning with spamassasin is using about 18% cpu, and for everything we have about 1.8gb of memory in use, but that includes a virtual workspace for amavisd-new, which makes it much faster then doing it on disk. We average a 1.12 load on the servers. We are also using a raid 10 array of 4 ultra 320 scsi disks for faster write for the sendmail queues.
