mailscanner system requirements???

[Rafael Angarita]

    Does somebody  has any information  about  baselines under Solaris
(sparc)?
    I would like to get some additional info:
    - Number of emails per day
    - Delay for each email after queued.
    - Avg CPU load
    - Hints about sendmail config (for example RefuseLA, DelayLA,
MaxDaemonChildren)
    - Example config files for SpamAssassin and MailScanner to get this
metrics

    Thanks in advance,

Interestingly enough, we tested MailScanner using the LVM clustering
with great results, using 3 desktop Dell P2 400Mhz Machines with 32MB
ram.  We were only running MailScanner with SpamAssassin with no virus
scanning.


Currently we have CompaqDL360g2 1.4GHz with 768Mb RAM running RedHat
8.0, we process about 50k daily(pretty constant load) emails with
Sendmail/MailScanner/SpamAssassin, no anti-virus in MS.  We average
about 13% CPU with Compaq Insight Manager and Trend Server Protect
running in addition with real-time mySQL logging in MailScanner.

I am interested in hearing more about load / resource comparisons.  It
would be nice to have a few rough baselines established.  Ie.

10,000 msgs / day = 256MB ram, 800MHz Proc
20,000 msgs / day = 512MB ram, 1.4Ghz
Etc...

It should also be mentioned that MailScanner works very well load
balanced using multiple equal preference MX records.

I am currently running a cluster of 2 load balanced (DNS only) Compaq
DL360s (2.5 GB RAM, RAID1 36GB SCSI drives, dual 2.4GHz Xeon procs).
Completely overkill for the 30K msgs /day I process but Im working on
getting some additional domains on there which will probably triple the
load.  So even then it will be overkill.  But that's what you get when
you ask a windows shop for 'adequate hardware.' ;)

My config includes virus scanning and even through the sobig days (40K+
sobig msgs / day) the cpu avg never exceeded 5%.
