If that's not sufficient enough, you may want to upgrade your hardware. Or, you could always disable some of the more CPU intensive tasks and rely more on blacklist scoring. I will not presume to speak for the others, but to me policyd is one part of an overall system. I do not expect it to do everything. I expect it to do what it does. For me, policyd is my first line of defense, it blocks all mail from a select few blacklists, after that, it greylists the remaining email. Once an email makes it past that, it's on to Amavis where email is either blocked (if it contains a naked executable or virus scanned otherwise. Then it's handed off to spamassassin where all mail is tagged, but otherwise permitted into the system, unless the spam score is insane (30+) I am personally thrilled with policyd and would be sad to see it bloated up with features already incorporated into other products. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
