The most important things you can do follow. You've probably done the top three: - Put /var/spool/MIMEDefang on a ramdisk - Use the embedded Perl interpreter - Limit the size of messages you scan with SpamAssassin to around 50kB or so - Try to avoid network tests -- network latency can cause Sendmail and MIMEDefang processes to pile up very quickly. - Try to avoid anything that serializes scanning (like the SA Bayes locking). In CanIt, we use a proper database (PostgreSQL) that has very fine-grained locking, so you don't need to write-lock entire files. But really, your hardware (P-III @750MHz) is a bit underpowered - your volume is 200,000 messages/day, and that's borderline overload for that hardware. A dual Xeon with 2.4GHz processors should easily handle 600,000 messages/day.
