Are you running 64bit OS? If so how stable are things? I thought about it to get by the 4Gbyte RAM limit but I chickened out since Directadmin lists 64bit support as beta. I have a Directadmin server which is basically Apache, Exim, Dovecot with a nice GUI. I added Spamassassin which now filters about 2000 email accounts. Its recently upgraded to a dual core AMD CPU with 4Gbyte of DDR2 and SATA2 drive. Handles things much better then the old Socket A 2800+ with 2Gbyte of RAM and PATA drive. I do not use any blacklists at MTA time except sbl.spamhaus.org. When I ran others I had to many custommers complain about blocking there email. This server works in an ISP setting so must deal with 1500+ unique custommers who have differing ideas on how there email should be filtered. I just add headers and knock priority on hits to low so they can filter easilly with OE or there email client of choice. Matt
