hello
What makes you think this is a performance issue? The fact that you're
getting more HAM than SPAM? or what?
The main reason I believe this is a performance issue is the strange
flat line that is demonstrated by the graph. Although it concerns me
that I get much more HAM than SPAM (I believe current industry
standards report 80+% spam traffic), I simply can't explain why we are
hitting that kind of upper limit.
Do you have any front-end RBLs, Greylists, or other MTA layer filters
that are filtering out some of the spam before it gets to MailScanner
in the first place? (This would severely bias your numbers)
We are using RBL list on the mail gateway level. I am looking into
greylisting and other plug-ins, but I would like to make sure that
spamassassin is well tuned and efficient as we examine and add other
solutions.

Ok, that's better. I know what I'm looking at now.
