It's also a bit dated. At its peak apache.org was pulling in
around 2.4 M messages per day, distributed between a primary/secondary
mx config. The primary typically carries at least twice the load of
the secondary, and is a dual 2.80GHz Xeon dell box equipped with
3GB ram. Typical CPU load was around 1. Disk performance doesn't
seem to be a significant factor in how the machine performs, even
tho we run spamassassin directly on the mx.
Nowadays we only do about 750K / day - yes, spam volume
is down by more than 50% at apache. Way to go qpsmtpd!
