Probably, mind you, I don't use a ram based spool, but my reasoning is the limiting factor on email sizes (yes i still have to be able to process msgs up to 1GB (don't ask) and i run 25 threads, so that would be an expensive ram disk !!
However, I still see sub 1/2 second process times on emails even with 3 av engines and spamassissin (with a huge ruleset) running, even when almost all threads are loaded :) But then I rely on the load average creeping up, and sendmail rejecting connections (due to having set the reject LA quite low) which the Load balancer then distributes to other boxes. So even a biggie email doesn't clog the system Also a nice 15k Raid 5 (for the local processing) does help -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of David F.
