size=2>Interestingly enough, we tested MailScanner using the LVM clustering with
great results, using 3 desktop Dell P2 400Mhz Machines with 32MB ram.
We were only running MailScanner with SpamAssassin with no virus
scanning.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2>Currently we have CompaqDL360g2 1.4GHz with 768Mb RAM running RedHat 8.0,
we process about 50k daily(pretty constant load) emails with
Sendmail/MailScanner/SpamAssassin, no anti-virus in MS. We average about
13% CPU with Compaq Insight Manager and Trend Server Protect running in addition
with real-time mySQL logging in MailScanner.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>I am interested in hearing more about load / resource
comparisons. It would be nice to have a few rough baselines
established. Ie.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>10,000 msgs / day = 256MB ram, 800MHz Proc</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>20,000 msgs / day = 512MB ram, 1.4Ghz</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>Etc...</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>It should also be mentioned that MailScanner works very well
load balanced using multiple equal preference MX records. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>I am currently running a cluster of 2 load balanced (DNS only)
Compaq DL360s (2.5 GB RAM, RAID1 36GB SCSI drives, dual 2.4GHz Xeon
procs). Completely overkill for the 30K msgs /day I process but Im
working on getting some additional domains on there which will probably triple
the load. So even then it will be overkill. But that's what you
get when you ask a windows shop for 'adequate hardware.' ;)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>My config includes virus scanning and even through the sobig
days (40K+ sobig msgs / day) the cpu avg never exceeded 5%.
