We currently receive about 70-80% of SPAM. Are servers are a little bit overkill for our needs, about 3,000 - 4,000 e-mails a day. But the server has never hiccuped in over a year now. Only need to reboot to patch windows. Its also weathered a couple of SPAM floods as well, (10,000 emails an hour).
Dual Xeon 2.55GHz 533 Bus 4GB DDR RAM RAID 5+HOTFIX Array (All 250GB Serial ATA HDs 7200RPM)
....Its way overkill, but I love horsepower!

We are currently looking to upgrade our mail server. Lately the processing of the CPU has causing the SMTP to be working real slow, causing a lot of timeouts. We currently we are running a P3 1.133GHz with 512MB RAM. We are looking to upgrade to a dual processor.
I was wondering if anybody was willing to share what type of server hardware they are using and if anybody had any recommendations on the CPU power and RAM to have optimal performance.
Also I was wondering what amount of SPAM is being received by other
ISPs. Currently over 90% of all incoming mail to our server is SPAM. I
just wanted to see if this is normal for an ISP.
