Hi everyone. I use an older version of amavisd (2.3.2) against a postgresql database. I have not upgraded it because the database and some code was customised (which I inherited). I'm going to start the upgrade process in a few weeks so if you are a praying people then pray for me. If you are not a praying people then pray for me, and if you dont know if you are or not then pray for me and you. :)
Anyway. I've done quite a bit of work recently on our front end filter - a custom developed greylist filter which uses data collected by amavisd to help decide what to 4XX and what to let through. More importantly I've just completed updating that filter to make extensive use of memcached (www.danga.com/memcached/) and wow what a difference it made to performance. I now want to look at whether memcached would work well with bayes and amavisd. Bayes in particular because I think it is the hardest hitting database app and amavisd because I'm about to start the upgrade process. I'm looking for input on this. Has anyone else looked at using memcached in bayes or amavisd ? Is there perhaps a version already done ? Does anyone have a view on how effective or perhaps ineffective it would be ? My experience with our prefilter leads me to believe it would have huge impact on bayes performance, and with amavisd in the areas of lookups for black/white lists, policies etc. My only qualm is really amavisd because although the cache is miles faster than the database, the records are small and quite likely cached by the system anyway. thanks Grant Grant Maxwell Grant Maxwell Ph: 61 2 90293452 Mob: 61 41 9227165 [EMAIL PROTECTED] > P please consider the environment before printing this e-mail > The information in this e-mail is confidential and may be legally privileged.
