I am running MailScanner / SpamAssassin / ClamAV / Postfix on a Mail
Server that has about 2500 mails per day .... it is also a web server
that serves 5000 pages a day, and doubles as my DNS server / DHCP server
and firewall for a 10 PC network. The box is a dual processor 2.0 ghz
p4 xeon with 1gb RAM, 160mb/sec scsi drives ... I have no problems. The
load on this machine is almost always less than 2%.
On another box in front of 3 exchange servers, I scan all incoming and
outgoing mail (at 15,000-18,000 messages per day ... in each
direction). This box is a dual processor 2.8ghz p4 xeon with 2gb RAM
and 160mb/sec SCSI. Uses Spam Assassin / Mailscanner / ClamAV /
Sendmail .... again, no problems. The load on this machine is almost
always less than 5%.
