Uhm, I wonder were you got this information from... But advising someone to NOT upgrade his memory over 256MB on a serversystem that certainly needs MUCH more ram is really strange in my opinion. Exim + SA are bound to kill the machine in anything bigger then a homeserver-environment. I'd say 1GB are absolutely minimum for such a server. Usually you'll be runnnig 10 spamd processes (plus the spawning father), which take up around 50MB memory per process. Add exim (not much) and apache up to that and you'll easily end up with an average memory consumption of around 700MB. That leaves you with around 300MB spare memory for the bad days ;) my .02€ Sascha PS: Crossposting is bad, but doing a reply-to-all on a crosspost is even worse. PPS: I'll keep it on the SA list, as SA is most likely the reason for the slowness of the machine -------------------------------------------------- Sascha Runschke Netzwerk Administration IT-Services ABIT AG Robert-Bosch-Str. 1 40668 Meerbusch Tel.:+49 (0) 2150.9153.226 Mobil:+49 (0) 173.5419665 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.abit.net http://www.abit-epos.net --------------------------------- Sicherheitshinweis zur E-Mail Kommunikation / Security note regarding email communication: http://www.abit.net/sicherheitshinweis.html
