I am running MimeDefang 2.39 with SpamAssassin 2.63 on Sendmail or
Sendmail-Switch. I have a collection of SUN computers running Solaris 8.
I have a volume of about 12 million messages per week. Right now, the
load average is staying below 4 on the eight processor computers.
I am considering adding Baysian check to the plain SpamAssassin. I need
some way of predicting whether I have enough computer horsepower to handle
the extra load of the Baysian checks.
Does someone have data on how much the load average changed when Baysian
check was turned on?


First of all, can you determine that you have your Mail Volume equally distributed over the Existing Sun Server?

Have you reviewed the Existing Bottle necks in the configuration as it currently stands (i.e. is it well tuned?)?

Let start there, as I'm not convivnced that there may be other issues at play that can possibly reduce your load average and increase your throughput.
