Problem with sendmail and spamhaus

[kfliong]

<x-flowed>
Yes, I do use BigEvil script for spamassassin.

Here is my specs and you tell me if there's something wrong with my system.

- Intel P3 1GHz
- 512mb RAM
- Around 12 sites but only 2 are really active
- Very little user base for email around 50
- around 30,000 incoming mails per day of where 94% are spams


thanks in advance
