Mailscanner mqueuein trouble

[Julian Field]

You need 1Gb per CPU core. RAM is cheap, go buy some more, or else  
you will find they are swapping. "vmstat 5" will show you if it's  
swapping under the pi and po (page in and page out) columns.

And read the Wiki.mailscanner.info pages about performance  
optimisation and tweaking.
