MailScanner -> Spamassassin taking insane amount of bandwidth

[Rose, Bobby]

SA is DNS querying the RBLs so of course it's going to increase the
bandwidth and would be proportional to the number of rbls that you have
it checking.

Subject: MailScanner -> Spamassassin taking insane amount of bandwidth


Greetings,
 
 
 
I have the following configuration:
 
 
mailscanner-4.25-14
with spamassassin 2.61
sendmail 8.11.6-27
 
on an IBM x235 
 
2 2.4GHZ Processors
1.25 GHZ of RAM
Hot swapable raid 5 config.
 
 
We have about a 100 small sites configured for mail mostly and some,
web.
 
This is running on RedHat Linux 7.3 Kernel 2.4.18-27.7.xsmp
 
We have been running MailScanner on that machine for almost 2 years now
without any problems.
 
 
Since we have activated the anti-spam features using SpamAssassin,  and
standard Spam-Checking throught the ORBS lists, our bandwidth usage has
more than doubled.
 
Before activating that feature, we were using 80-100GB of bandwidth per
month. Now we're up to 224GB for last month.
 
 
Has anyone ever heard of SpamAssassin doing this?
 
 
Thank you in advance for your help.
