I have a dual P3 server I am hoping to run as our main spam filtering machine. I am satisfied the spam is being caught, I am just worried whether it can deal with the load as the machine idles with one CPU fully utilised.
Here are some system details: antispam02# uname -a FreeBSD antispam02.ebit.com.au 6.1-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p3 #0: Fri Aug 4 10:23:56 EST 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ANTISPAM02 i386 antispam02# /usr/local/bin/spamd --version SpamAssassin Server version 3.1.3 running on Perl 5.8.8 with SSL support (IO::Socket::SSL 0.97) antispam02# pkg_info | grep spam p5-Mail-SpamAssassin-3.1.3 A highly efficient mail filter for identifying spam pyzor-0.4.0_4 A collaborative, networked system to detect and block spam razor-agents-2.82 A distributed, collaborative, spam detection and filtering spamass-milter-0.3.1 Sendmail Milter (mail filter) plugin for SpamAssassin spamass-rules-20060203 Custom rulesets for SpamAssassin antispam02# ps auuwx | grep spam nobody 624 99.0 12.0 66044 62004 ??

Is that related? Any ideas or suggestions? Chris Martin
