Thanks. Yes I would like help so here goes:
CPU: AMD Athlon 1.2 GHz cache 256 KB.
MEM: 512 MB
DISK: about 60 Gig
OS: RedHat 9 (I know it is old but I have tried to keep it as up to date as
possible)
Mimedefang: 2.53
SpamAssassin: 3.1.0
Perl: 5.8.0
Sendmail: 8.12
Do you have RAM and did you try and use it for the MD tmp ?
Do you have connection rate and akin stuff set to the best in
your sendmail conf ?
As you don't give much info on RAM/CPU/bandwidth/mailstats
that's quite hard to tell from here :-)
I have not tried to put the MD tmp stuff on a ram disk yet. Does that help a
lot and how much ram disk should I use. I will have to put the Bayes stuff in
another place I guess.
Which items in the sendmail.mc file do you mean when you say "connection rate and
akin stuff"?
I do have a little stuff in the .procmailrc files but nothing complicated.
Spamassassin is run by MD.
if ((-s "./INPUTMSG") < 300*1024) {
I scan anything less then 300KB. I changed this from the default 100KB was that
a mistake?
I also have been getting the RulesDuJour stuff. Is that maybe a problem?
10_local_report.cf 70_sare_header.cf 70_sare_stocks.cf 72_sare_bml_post25x.cf

70_sare_evilnum0.cf 70_sare_random.cf 71_sare_redirect_pre3.0.0.cf
local.cf
I am also doing SpamCop, DCC, Pyzor, and Razor2. I know these can take time is
that maybe my problem, if so what should I remove and/or add?
Thanks for your offer to help. I have been running Mimedefang and Spamassassin
for a couple of years now and only lately has it caused my system to slow down.
I have tried a couple of time to move some of the stuff to a newer (Ubuntu)
system and have succeeded only to have system failures which caused me to move
back to this old RedHat 9 machine which just will not die.
