How many mails do you process per day and how much memory do you have?.
How many child process you have set?<br>
I think that maybe I cannot support the spam load with my actual
configuration... And I need to find some fast solutions until I have
new equipments.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

<blockquote type="cite">Also I find spamassassin pretty pointless, I
mean we have our min spam levels set to 3, that warns people, and the
high level set to kill it off at 10, so we are accepting 99.9% of it
anyway arent we, vast majority of it lately scores around 2 to 7, even
the latest calais viagra BS is rated at 1-2 by SA so it will pass, too
much legitimate email is in 3-7, at a
<br>
score of 7 there is genuine emails, I get weekly emails for cisco
equipment
<br>
and it regulary scores 4-7 :)
<br>
<br>
So in essence, S.A is good for stopping about 0.1% of it.
<br>
nice and handy and warns the suer the otehr 99.9% of the time BUT
because its a warning people will at least start to read it to see if
its spam or genuine.

I disagree with you. SA, if you tune it right, will detect pretty much
ALL spam. But it needs lots of RAM.
<br>
<br>
We warn users above 5 and delete mails above 20 and yesterday we
managed to delete 59% of spam...
<br>
<br>
Most of our users can activate a filter that will move all flagged spam
to a spam folder that is cleaned automatically... this is really good
for all!
<br>
<br>
