Nick,
If you don't mind, is SA heavy on the CPU? What kinda load are
you running with SA?
First I am no authority here but am willing to share my experience.
Sandy's spamd32 seems to be no issue as near as I can tell. The cpu
issue is with spamd. .I have spamd running under cygwin on an older dual
PIII 1.13 processor machine. Its raid 5 with a gig of ram. At least on
my system spamd will spawn 6 perl processes each w/about 75k of ram.
A couple of weeks ago we had some spam leakage to the Imail box with the
result of like 2 mill or more emails in the spool/overflow dir. The main
server was fine but the spamd box was running at 90-100% full cpu.to
clear up that mess. If I guessed I would say the max the spamd box
could do was 3 email a second.So bottom line is how many email would you
max process in a second. would dictate if a separate spamd box would be
necessary. Overall now I am doing ~ 15,000 email a day and the spamd
box is running easy under 10%load.
I personally really like spamassassin under Declude. With the weighting
system of Declude it makes another excellent test.
