<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">>How's
your caching dns performance? Have you updated spamassassin? </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
</div><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Well
I followed a lot of the suggestions for increasing performance, and although
MailScanner is working a little better, it still cannot keep up. DNS
performance is quick. I do not have the latest spamassassin version, but based
on the fact that most spam is being caught by Sendmail now (as described
below), I wouldn't think that is the problem.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">I
added the greeting delay to sendmail, am now checking Spamcop and XBL at
Sendmail level, and although tons of spam is now being caught before getting to
MailScanner, my <a href="http://mqueue.in" target="_blank">mqueue.in</a> is at 30k, incoming is at a constant 180 and now
mqueue is hovering around 2k. Mail is coming through but way too slow. Also,
cpu is just pegged at 100% with several MailScanner processes, Sendmail
processes, and kblockd/0 and kblockd/1 splitting up all cpu. I'm starting
to wonder if after the reboot something has degraded my disk performance and
now there isn't enough cpu for MailScanner to handle the number of
messages coming in?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">I
may have to resort to setting up MailScanner on another system at this point.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Thanks
for all the suggestions, and if anyone has any other ideas, please let me know.</span></p>
