Slow mail processing

[Dan Spray]

Hello,



I have MS setup on a dual xeon 2.6 with 2 gig of ram and nothing else on
this server this is running RedHat 9.  Mail comes in and out in a test
environment very quickly.  However, when I turn other domains over to it and
it actually starts processing a lot of mail (100+ msg /min) the incoming
queue starts backing up and before long there are thousands of messages in
the queue.  I really am only interest in running the virus checks (clamav)
and local Spamassassin checks (bayes, evil_numbers, etc.) so that may be a
problem too.I don't see how to limit the Spamassassin checks to local check
only in the MS conf so that may be my problem.  I have pasted a snippet from
the log.  Any help in getting this sped up would be greatly appreciated.



Dan
