Who does RBL checks - MailScanner or SpamAssassin?

[Martin Hepworth]

Res

Wow 43 Million messages a day.. I think the most any has had is about 2
million messages out of a single machine (dunno if anyone has done any laod
tests with the recent faster code).

I think the best way to handle this would be to handle some sort of cluster
with a mysql based bayes engine and using DNS to load balance. 

Also I dunno if anyone's tested the new spam cache code using shared (NFS)
files for this or they would recommend keeping one per local system.

Maybe one of the Steves or Jules can comment on clusters better..
