That's probably the case. > > I am working on getting a filtering server setup now I sure hope that's the right solution for you, but it's hard to tell from this end, as you haven't answered some questions regarding numbers you're seeing. You might end up simply moving the same problem to a different box. Spamdyke should be catching upwards of 90% of your spam. If it isn't, then that could point to a different problem, and cause excessive scanning to be taking place. How many messages per minute are being scanned (roughly)? How long does is typically take to scan a message? Have you enabled any SA rules that might be causing scanning to use a lot more CPU?

Be sure to setup up spamdyke on the perimeter incoming processor.
