You don't say what your mail volume is, but until recently I ran SA
successfully on a 512MB, 866 MHz P3 house server box which also runs
Postgres and Apache. Mail volume was 150 msgs/day +/-50. I'm still using
the same mail handling chain but for reasons not related to mail, the
box recently got bigger and faster by a factor of 8 for RAM and 12 for
CPU cycles.
The set up is that SA only handles incoming mail: getmail fetches the
incoming mail from my ISP and the getmail mda script defines a pipeline
consisting of:
spamc | spamkiller | sendmail
where (obviously) spamc passes messages to spamd for processing.
Spamkiller is a locally developed program that looks at the SA headers,
quarantines spam and hands ham to the Postfix sendmail utility for
delivery the local copy of Postfix. If this type of set-up floats your
boat, you can download spamkiller and friends from here:
