If you wanted to save a 3 months old corpus with that much spam you’d need a dedicated (separate) server for performing rebuildspamdb.pl…

I get about 70k spam every two weeks.  I cannot imagine a rebuild with three months worth stored upJ

I think it’s more beneficial to look at your corpus age and not at max files value.

 

I usually let ASSP run with the default for a month or two and then see if indeed I’m close in number of files to maxfiles. If I am, I look at how old the oldest mails are. I then change maxfiles accordingly (if oldest message is not even two months old I enlarge maxfiles, and if I didn’t even reach the number of maxfiles I make it smaller).

 

Generally I try to tweak maxfiles so that oldest mails in my corpus are about 3 months old.

The number I use for maxfiles varies greatly according to the load on the mail server ASSP is protecting.
