That's pretty high to start out. Try lowering the priority of Perl.exe to Low and see if the server stabilizes.
I guess that was a noble try... but it didn't work. I'm going to try to separate the spamd/spamc processes and see how that goes. I know this server is grossly underpowered for what I'm trying to do, but I inherited it this way, and I don't think I'm gonna get to buy a new one here anytime soon. The person before didn't understand how to spec out a mailserver.
On a related note, does anyone know if there is any performance gain in having Junkmail or Virus running first? We currently scan for JunkMail first just to get an accurate count of the spam we receive.
Thanks,
Russ
