That's a fairly high volume, but assuming you've set it up to handle that load, it shouldn't be a problem either way. If you're using network tests, you'll probably need local copies of any DNSBL and URIBL zones so there isn't a delay in querying external servers for it. As for headers only vs full mode, there are pros and cons of each. We run in headers-only mode here. Global configuration for everyone, every message gets scanned and tagged. There's a bug in the add-header routine in CGPSA that will try to add more header information to a message than CGPro will allow. I've submitted a code fix for that problem for the next version. In full mode, each domain and user can have individual settings. This can be helpful if you have users who are interested in changing scores, whitelisting people or whatever. Our users just want us to stop the spam without any effort on their part. Full mode requires PWD/CLI access to the server so it can check recipients. By default, only recipients with local accounts are scanned, not forwarders, lists, groups, or any other non-user account recipient. Even so, I think the majority of installations use this mode. I do believe there are some high-volume installations. You might have better luck with feedback if you posted on the CGPSA discussion list instead. HTH, Bret
