Performance on 64 bit Linux vs 32 Bit

I have installed policyd at work and it is proving very good. using PCRE in Postfix I only invoke greylisting for dialup accounts or unknowns.  Using the MailWatch database I have already populated with known mailservers so the impact of 450s is minimal.

Consider using BarricadeMX or at least give it a try. It is using
multicast for cache management so even 25 servers are not a problem.
However I am willing to bet that with BarricadeMX you will not need to
have 25 servers for smtp. Look at their stats. Some of their sites are
handling a few million mails/connections a day with simply three
servers.
