I'm using a PII 300 with 64M RAM and 256M swap for my personal server. It runs Courier and SA-2.63. Average processing time is about 15 seconds. The longest scan time that I see is 184.7 seconds for a 1499 byte message. It's not great, but it's good enough for now. I would go along with the other posters. Extra memory is probably your easiest performance boost. Beyond that, replace the machine with the cheapest budget system you can find. Any P4 should be able to easily handle the load for a single user. Bowie
