If I were to build a system to process 150,000 messages an hour - using SpamAssassin - how much computing power would you throw at that?


Have you considered running SA on a separate server? That would change the dynamics a bit. :)

Actually - yes. But I'm trying to get an idea of total computing power I'm going to need for everything. Get some feedback from people running this kind of volume.

Understandable.  :)

I'm not doing that much volume at the moment and the last time I was running mail servers with that much traffic we were doing everything on big Sun servers.

My only recommendation, and I'm sure you're aware of this, is that SA needs a lot of horsepower in CPU, RAM and fast drives.

I'm curious if any of the 64bit hardware (and the appropriate OS) shows any performance boost for apps like SA, clamd, etc. Hopefully someone with experience in this area will post. :)

thanks,
M
