I run spamassassin via sendmail milters. It does spawn a few childs but at least its daemonised. Evo is 1.4. > VNC is probably consuming a bit of > resources for you too. VNC is only used when I'm not within reach of the laptop. (gone down to the lab for work etc.) I ssh into the laptop, run vncserver, and then tunnel it from there. > If you are reading your mail from other linux > boxes, they can ssh in and tunnel the x screen directly without making > your laptop keep a whole framebuffer and x server alive just for your > mail.

It costs like USD650 (directly from DELL) and USD400 (from other places) That's a Lot of money for a country where the average working (just started working) adult gets like USD600 per _month_. :-( -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
