Memory is reduced if you use allot of custom rules chris santare has now done away with big evil and you can use surbl lists to replace those.
At any rate the memory usage is reduced under those set of criteria. > B) Does SA 3.0 take less time to decide if an email is spam then SA 2.64?

I have a bunch of custom rules and my weight is not the normal either. For me before a bunch of html email were getting falsely tagged and for the last month or two before I switched about a month ago. There were allot of spams getting through because bays was just not working very well. With 3.0 installed beys works better. I'm not sure how but it just works. I get an occasional false positive but for maybe a month now i don't think i have gotten even one spam in my email box. And only 1 legitimate false positive. The other two or three are html email news letters that I like to read but others might consider them spam. My stats are that Just for me I get about 500 legit emails a day and around 600 - 800 spams a day. I don't think I ever receive fewer than this accept for maybe on weekends when id drops to 200 legit but the spams never drop. My legit email has gone as high as about 1000 a day and my spam email has gone as high as about 1000 a day. > > Thank you for your time. > > Steve Cohen > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- > ScannedBy: ScanMail V 0.92.9 http://www.webmedic.net > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -- -~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~- Brook Humphrey Mobile PC Medic, 420 1st, Cheney, WA 99004, 509-235-9107 http://www.webmedic.net, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Holiness unto the Lord -~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-
