[Mimedefang] Server load

[Tom Horan]

Hi all,
I've been playing with MIMEDefang over the past week or two, my main
interest being with SpamAssassin. I'm happy with its functionality, seems
pretty good, but I cant really get an idea of what sort of throughput I can
expect. At the moment I get about 12/15k messages per day, through a Compaq
Proliant ML370 Dual Pentium III 1Ghz, 768MB RAM, RedHat 6.2, Sendmail 8.9.3
without any problems. I cant really generate a test environment to replicate
12/15k message per day, so can anyone give me any guidelines as to what sort
of performance I can expect ? Anyone running similar hardware to the same
sort of mail throughput ?

Any input would be helpful,

Thanks,
Tom
