Postfix+Amavisd-new+ClamAv on Linux works quite well and is quite low on resource use. ClamAv is running as a daemon. For 500-700 msgs/day, it ran fine on a 133MHz 486 w/ 64MB memory. I estimate that it could run easily 3-5 times that volume. Adding SpamAssassin brings it to it's knees. I am now running the same setup w/ SA on a 333MHz PII w/ 192MB. Same scalability estimate. I think the key problem is that Amavisd-new w/ SA uses lots of memory, hence lots of swapping on low memory machines. Note: Amavisd-new calls SA code directly, not via a new process for each message. Essentially, amavisd-new uses SA as a subroutine library. SpamAssassin is a memory hog, but I think it is worth buying more memory if needed. The 486 could not take more than 64MB of memory, so it was retired. The PII is supporting the MTA and an IMAP server too. Apache is running w/ SquirrelMail, but is seldom used. It is a little slow. I usually use Apache w/ SquirrelMail on the workstation. Jeffrey ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
