Hi KAM and AxB,
The system is a small low cost VM. The provider
(for some reason) only offers to move the server to a new box, instead
of adding an extra half gig, which is pretty poor. I don't have the time
to spare for such a move for the moment. Yep - It's 64bit : amd64.
Just a thought:
It would be interesting to see, for a lowish mail volume, how well
spamd would run on a headless RaspberryPi Model B. Its hard to think of
a cheaper bit of kit to use. The current model Bs have 512MB of RAM, and
work well when run headless. There are instructions available that
detail how to configure a new RPi/B's SD card for headless operation
before you boot it for the first time. Perl 5.14 is included in the
standard RPi Debian distro.
Up to the start of last year I was managing perfectly well with spamd on
a 512Mb 866MHz P3 box running Fedora, where it got to share memory with
Apache, Postgres, Postfix, getmail and Dovecot plus a fair development
load, so I reckon that it should be fine on a 1GHz Rpi with the same
sized memory.
for the cost of a RPi I'll give you a HP DL360 G4 with 2 x 146GB SCSI
drives, 4 GB Ram. I'll even give you a spare drive. You'll have to pay
for freight from europe
