Dear Sirs,
I appreciate your help
Then the problem would not be the low ram?
I will implement improvements in the configuration suggested and
observe the results, however, that more could be suggested to improve
my spam service?
This is my current memory usage:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 501 284 216 0 24 41
-/+ buffers/cache: 218 282
Swap: 1027 59 968
Thanks for your time and support.
