Ahhh....so the more correct statement would be amavisd-new with SQL does not scale. Since I assume you are using a global sitewide database with amavis this doesn't surprise me. There would be a lot of lock contention with that many children attempting to hit a single row in the database constantly. A better setup would be individual bayes dbs and InnoDB tables (which support row level locking). That would certainly scale much better. Michael
