[NBLUG/talk] Postfix - amavisd-new - clam antivirus - spamass assin

[Christopher Wagner]

I'm watching the load on this box..  It's pretty low.  It's catching about
300 spams a day which is about 20-30% of our total traffic, message-wise.
The reason I make a distinction is, this machine being the email server for
a press-shop, they sometimes receive extremely large emails.  Some in excess
of 30 megs.  Hence the absolute necessity for Maildir mailboxes.  The system
seems to be handling the load with ease, there's no visible speed difference
between 1 machine accessing the IMAP server and 5 machines accessing it.

I get the feeling that this machine would scale very nicely.  I can tell now
that the load it's under isn't anywhere near it's usable capacity.

Cool!!  I am really enjoying this combination on my server it rips spam out 
real nice like and the virus scanner seems to work peachy... although I
don't 
get many viri.

I wonder how it scales under load.  Keep us up on how it is performing in
your 
environment.....  Just set it...... and forget it.....
