While on the bitdefender topic, I've had to disable this scanner on
several server due system load. I use gentoo on most servers,
standard setup...
postfix+amavisd-new+clamav+spamassassin
I tipically use 2-3 scanners on each server but the CPU load with
bitdefender appears very high - usually around 40-60 cpu usage per
instance. The main reason I'm asking is I just had to disable this
scanner on a dual Xeon 3.0 with 2G of memory because I was getting
out-of-memory kernel panic. This server does process 50k messages
per day with around 15k email accounts. I even dropped the amavis to
3 clients (as well as master.cf) which did not help.
Has anyone else experienced this or have any tips on limiting its cpu
usage?
Vernon, on a test server I run that has 7 scanners installed (AVG,
UVScan, Sophos, F-Prot, TrendMicro, ClamAV, and BitDefender),
BitDefender is by far the slowest of all scanners, taking at least 4X
longer than even the next slowest scanner. I would not use nor
recommend its usage in a heavily loaded production environment.

Yea, I have a similar setup except TrendMicro scanner. BitDefinder is
very slow but on server which adverage below 15k messages per day, it
seem find, although slow at times. I have to suck it up and just use
clamav on the system - its a free email system for a client and they do
NOT want to shell out for a commercial scanner.
