Just a quick question to those that are using those two together.

I have:
$max_servers  = 10;
$max_requests = 15;

in amavisd.conf.

But the box's load average seems to be hovering around 2.00 all the time. Sometimes a little lower, sometimes higher.

That is low for a quad CPU system. You want to keep load under 2.00 *per CPU*.


Quax 500mhz Xeon, ultra 160gb disks, 1gb RAM. It's a PowerEdge 6350.

What do you guys have set for max_servers & stuff and what kind of hardware? What kind of performance are you seeing?


Question: how many messages per day pass through SpamAssassin?

And how well have you found amavisd-new, postfix and SpamAssassin to interact?


Excellent.

(note: please don't tell me to switch to mailscanner yet. hah.)

I never would.

This setup has been working well for quite a while but I'm almost wondering if it's time to upgrade.


Question: on average how long does it take amavisd-new/SpamAssassin to process a message?

Has greylisting helped you out at all?


It can make a hugh difference. If you decide to go with it you should look at some form of selective greylisting. I also use a short (59 second) delay.

Thanks!
