I am using a 3GHZ Compaq/HP DL380 with 1G RAM, running MailScanner
4.35.11, Spamassassin 3.0.1, RedHat 9.0 (download version) and clamav
0.80. At any given point I have one copy of /usr/sbin/MailScanner running
at 50% -97% CPU. As I am writting this there are 23 instances running,
one is at 60% and the rest do not even appear on the (top -c ) output.
Anyone got any ideas on why this would be? Anything I can do to correct?
Output from sar shows: "Average:          all     60.23      0.00    
15.97     23.80". This server is for email filtering only. No other
software (except a full install of the OS)


Thanks!
Carl
