Well, it probably worked, just not enough. :)

That  will alleviate the utilization issue, for sure. Depending on the
age  of  your  server,  you  should  think  about adding an additional
processor.  I  find that that's one fun part about running mail on old
boxes  with  new disks: as it gives you ability to scale up processing
on  the  cheap  as  needed,  while  still  giving peak performance for
disk-starved  tasks.  A lot of people inadvertently err on the side of
processor power by buying new boxes and ignoring DASD optimization.

Gotcha.

One  thing  you should know about that I'm building into SPAMC32 right
now  is  a  SKIPIFWEIGHT  option  that  will return 0 immediately if a
(Declude) weight has already been exceeded, thus saving processing for
way out-of-range spam.
