Re: [vps-mail] VPS2 server loads

[Art Zemon <art@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wilson,

I have a VPS2 Pro, er, VPS2 2000, dedicated to running Mailman. It's 
been up since September 27 and has averaged 37,319 outgoing messages and 
913 MB per day.

We filter all incoming messages through SpamAssassin and Clam-AV. Since 
no messages originate on the machine (no one uses the machine as their 
outgoing mail server), we don't filter outgoing messages. This saves 
*very* significantly on the load. If you can possibly do it, I encourage 
you to adopt the same settings.

Load average on the box is insignificant. It jumps only when we preen 
the archives or run other batch processes which involve pulling the 
subscriber lists from all 450+ mailing lists.

Cheers,
   -- Art Z.
