Having process load issues, I found that removing my two sa-blacklist rules took care of it. If fact, very good processing times now that they're gone. My question is, what I'm I missing? Spam filtering is doing a fine job since changes applied 24 hours ago.
I run Postfix 2.2.8 with amavisd-new 2.3.3 that hands off to SA. The server is FreeBSD 5.4 with dual P4 processors with hyperthreading enabled and a gig of RAM using RAID5. My postfix/amavisd setup is using 4 processes at a time. I tried bumping this to 10 and my server will begin even hesitating on the shell prompt. This setup with 4 has run for a while very well, but then I added these sa-blacklist rules. Also, is hyperthreading a good thing? -- Robert
