hi all, We've got two 3 ghz 1 gb RAM relay servers (relay1 and relay2) at work.
We recently combined our two mail servers into one, which means these two relay servers are now doing virtual user table translation and amavis (spamassassin and clamav) scanning for about 6,000 accounts. Relay2 is usually always fine, but relay1 during the day tends to get backed up as much as a 1000 messages in the queue. Overnight relay1 is fine. I assume since relay1 is the first MX record, more mail goes to that server.
Either way, the timing output seems to put the problem at spamassassin for the length of time it is taking to process messages. I have both servers up to 15 amavis processes, and if I raise that at all I run low on memory/CPU ... so I can't really bring that up anymore.
Would it be feasible to create a third relay server now (relay3) to help balance the load out a bit?
