While playing with a bridge configuration I 1) accidentally reported a bug to freebsd-net on a test machines and then 2) orphaned the machine by deconfiguring the bridge. When I brought it back up it dumped a ton of "could not deliver" warnings plus all the postmaster warnings for the undeliverable warnings on me all at once. The load on my dual celeron 500 server shot to about 6 and `top' in a 24 line terminal was ALL perl processes. The whole thing took several minutes to recover. The only really bad thing about spamassassin is that it is DOG slow. And I don't even use any of the DNSBL rules since I do that at the MTA. As a result of that I added a lockfile to my spamassassin procmail rule to serialize them (before they could run in parallel because I don't let spamassassin deliver, it falls through to a rule that delivers to maildirs which can happen in parallel). > Our testing shows that a dual 1Ghz PC running Linux is only likely to get > around about 5 emails per second thoughput using spamd. Sounds like spamd/spamc is a little faster, but less still less configurable... -- Ben Jackson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.ben.com/ _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
