We have a VERY similar setup and similar amount of mail, but we use Postfix and amavisd-new (which uses spamassassin with fuzzyocr and can do it's own defanging). amavisd-new uses a ramdisk as well. I guess this reduces the number of processes/forks and performs a bit better. * Linux 2.6.18 * 2 Xeon 2.8 GHZ Processors and 3 GB RAM. * Peak load at noon is about (11:30 now): 4.64 The average scan time is below your 7s... -- Ralf Hildebrandt (i.A. des IT-Zentrums) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Charite - Universitätsmedizin Berlin Tel. +49 (0)30-450 570-155 Gemeinsame Einrichtung von FU- und HU-Berlin Fax. +49 (0)30-450 570-962 IT-Zentrum Standort CBF send no mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
