Just taking a stab in the dark as I don't know much about qmail. Are you rejecting unknown accounts at SMTP time? From my observation with comments I've seen around the web, it appears qmail doesn't do this by default. Please forgive me if my observation is incorrect. Just to give you an idea on the numbers this can affect, yesterday our filter server rejected over 850,000 unknown accounts. Are you using any blacklist checks at the MTA level? Again, yesterday our filter server rejected over 2.8 million messages just using zen.spamhaus.org. Rejecting unknown accounts and a couple decent RBLs can reduce the number of messages SA has to process. -- _|_ (_| |

Do you know any way to solve it? sorry for my bad english . Perhaps you could tweak the number of processes (qmail/SA), adjust scanned message sizes? Do you use extra rulesets? What causes the high load? CPU, i/o wait, memory? Which SA Version? Thank you. -- GrĂ¼sse/Greetings MH Dont send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --
