improvements in this release:
-  You  can  add  a  SKIPIFWEIGHT-type  threshold  to  ensure  that no
SpamAssassin  tests  will  be  run  if  the  message is already over a
certain  weight:  SPAMC32 will pass (0) such messages immediately. See
the -cw/-sw combo.
Well, this did help considerably... but not quite enough.  I moved the 
SpamD server onto a server that currently does nothing but DNS.  It is a 
dual PIII 1GHz machine that usually runs between 0 and 5 % 
utilization.  With SpamD running on it, it averaged about 70% 
utilization.  Now my mailserver wasn't noticeably affected by the SpamC 
process.  That was using a -sw entry of 20 (my hold weight)  So, I think if 
I want to utilize SA, I'm going to have to do something drastic...  I'm 
open to suggestions if anyone has any!!  :)

Russ, a not too drastic option would be to run SA on a linux mail gateway
sitting in front of your IMail server and then track the hit=xx.x header
counts with Declude.  That's what we do here, and it has worked great for
us.  With this configuration you could also set IMail to gateway all
outbound mail to the SA box for all external mail delivery, thus taking this
load off of your IMail server.

Just a thought...

Bill

 Bill... This is what I would like to do, but there are a couple
 issues/questions I have.

Russ, we should probably take this off-line.  But briefly:

 1.  How do I reject messages with an invalid RCPT TO: command?

There are a couple of ways you can handle this, depending on where you host
your IMail user database.

 2.  What size machine do I need?  Let's say I process 200,000 messages a
 day, and I want to plan for 20% growth before this box is retired.  I
 understand that fast hard drives and proper partitioning are still
 extremely important, but what about processor/memory requirements?  I'm
 guessing this would be pretty high need as well.

Personally, I would much rather setup two smaller gateway servers with equal
MX settings then one big gateway server.  The reason for this is that it
allows you to split the load and also be able to loose a server or take it
off-line for maintenance and still keep delivering mail.

Please contact me off-list if you would like to discuss this further.

Bill
