Isaias,
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,

I will leave hardware recommendations to others for now.
However spam/ham ratios I can provide. Currently we are seeing typical
spam/ham numbers above 77%. Often this number flirts with 80+. This is
based on logs from approximately 100 systems. Live data updated several
times per day:

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.
How many E-mails do you
We're a small ISP and receive about 30,000 emails per day with 60 to 80%
being kicked out as either spam or viruses.
I upgraded about 6 months ago from a P2 running NT4 Workstation to a 2.4
Xeon (single processor on a dual processor motherboard) running Win2K with
only 256MB RAM.
I've never been
We currently send and receive about 40,000 to 50,000 e-mails daily. The
processes that are taking up the most CPU are multiple instances of
declude.exe and NTVDM.exe. We tried to comment out some of our SPAM
test to see if it would help and it has freed up some CPU. The SPAM

NTVDM.exe is used for 16-bit processes, and can indeed cause some servers
to slow down to a crawl. Are you using F-Prot.exe

that several of the tests provided in the original config
have since been turned off (no this is not Scotts or Decludes
fault, its our fault/problem for just not having enough time
to read up everything for every single server we have). So we
removed all of the monkeylists
Are the Monkey definitely list no longer working then?
They definitely are not working anymore. They have been down since late
last year.

test for SPAM or can they be removed?
On our system they are very helpful. Are you using SKIFIFWEIGHT
and MAXWEIGHT in your filters? These switches really help CPU usage.
They are explained in the archives...

Isaias,
NTVDM would also be kicked off if you were using the 16-bit version of
AVG (avg.exe), in which case using the 32-bit version, avgscan.exe is
now possible with version 7.
Regarding the filters, Scott made many large improvements since 1.75 to
the efficiency of the filtering. The

If
so, you should switch to the 32-bit fpcmd.exe version.
We are using f-prot.exe with Declude Virus. How do we check to make
sure it is running in
See http://www.declude.com/virus/manual.htm for instruction on what to
change in your virus.cfg file.
