Mailscanner stopped, sendmail running...

[Martin Hepworth]

Have you read the documentation on tuning?

http://wiki.mailscanner.info/doku.php?id=maq:index#optimization_tips

use of memory isn't a problem (*nix will use spare memory as filesystem
cache so when all the memory's used its not a bad sign). What is a bad sign
is high levels of swapping.

80k messages isn't high.

How many CPUs have you got are any of these HT or dual core?
