<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Hi All,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Recently I am finding that the amount of
incoming mail through my MailScanner Server is really slowing down
things. There is a heavy load now since I took on a domain that seems to
me well spammed. Yesterdays processing processed 22,000 emails @88% Spam
approx.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Server Spec POWEREDGE 1850 XEON 2.8GHZ/2MB 800FSB – WITH
2 GIG RAM and RAID 1 Configuration on two Disks RPM 10K… Its
Running Fedora Core 5, Send Mail 8.13.8-1.fc5 with MailScanner 4.69.7-1 with
SA, Razor, DCC., MailWatch V1<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Its working very well blocking spam, but only in the last
couple of days its got really slow. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any ideas on how to reduce the load on this server>? By
blocking mail at the MTA before it hits MS? OR Tweaking my processes?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>What do the Experts think on the Server Spec, for the amount
of traffic?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’d appreciate any help<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Regards<o:p></o:p></p>
