Sizing machine for mailscanner

[Martin Hepworth]

Keon

depends on size as well as volume.

But running FreeBSD 4.10 on my scanner with softupdates (sort of
journaling) on the filesystem and no other optimisation (ie no ram disk
for the MS work areas etc) I top out around  5000 mesgs an hour with a
2.8GHz PIV, 1.5GB DDR and 80GB SATA drive.

I'm using two virus scanners, SA with lots of the SARE extra rules, two
RBL's and all the URI-RBLs.

YMMV!
