OK - it's interesting that of all of you who responded this is the
only person who is doing it right. I have to say that I'm somewhat
surprised that so few people are preprocessing their email to reduce
the SA load. As we all know SA is very processor and memory expensive.
Personally, I'm filtering 1600 domains and I route less than 1% of
incoming email through SA. SA does do a good job on the remaining 1%
that I can't figure out with blacklists and whitelists and Exim
tricks, but if I ran everything through SA I'd have to have a rack of
dedicated SA servers.
I accept that you feel that what are you doing is "right", but I
personally find the convenience and power/control of SA to be very
useful. I'm routing about 1100 domains with 120k messages per hour on
a fairly basic Athlon system no problem, so I'm not quite sure why you
find SA to be so intensive.
(note that I'm using fairly stock SA with lots of SARE rulesets but no
plugins to speak of)
You're doing a LOT better than I am with it. Makes me wonder if I have
something set up wrong. My main SA server has a fast dual core Athlon
and 8 gigs of ram and it can get bogged down rather quickly. I wonder if
I'm doing something wrong ....
