From lurking on both lists, I can give you some general guidelines: use spamc/spamd (sorta like mod_perl for SA), use a procmail filter to prevent large messages going into SA, use MTA-level RBL filtering to keep obvious spam from going into SA, and then realize that SA is a Perl program doing some very complicated pattern matching -- it is a hog.

Are you using this setup?
I also need to know how scaliable spamassassin is. Will it handle 20,000
users at around 30 emails a second. Keep in mind that their will be a virus
scanner, communigate using their webmail for around 15,000 of the users,
2,000 using pop or imap and the other 3,000 are forwarded to MS
exchange(including myself and I hate it too, but once someone sets it up you
get locked into It big time. It's the heart of communicatios so there isn't
much that can be done except upgrade when a new version comes out.)
The OS is RedHat Advance server (RHAS) (I know this mandrake but the redhat
mailing list sucks). The box will be a dell poweredge 6450 with Quad Xeon
Processors @ 2GHz and 16 GB DDR SDRAM(not purchased). One question is if
anyone knows about the clustering for RHAS would it be possible to use
smaller system (poweredge 2650)and a NAS for storage. With say 3 of them
with dual processors, would you get more avaliablity and power for less
cost? I don't know if you can do that with communigate but just a though I
had instead of putting on a big box and then having a redundant server (not
quite as beefy)
Thanks
Brian
