Spamassassin, sweet spamassassin

[peamasii]

Over the last few days I've set up SpamAssassin on my hosting servers and so far I am thrilled with the results. Not only can I delete spam automatically, reject and block spam senders, but I can also report spammers to central servers that keep track of spammer activities

how topheavy is the program? what kind of volume are your servers processing, roughly?

I haven't monitored the processes with sysstat although I suppose I could do that if needed. Overall the average load is low on both servers, even though on one of them it's averaging about 600 MB/hour in site traffic, and I think there are probably over 1000 messages processed daily on that server. As long as load average stays under 1.0 in top, I am a happy camper.

I bet if I also installed ClamAV to scan message attachments that would use more proc time though.
