[Mimedefang] Resource Question

[Lucas Albers]

I run a 2.8MHZ 500meg system that does SA/mcafee,fprot,filescan,clamdscan,
and handles 5K of traffic a day without ANY problems.
Even when it hit 25k traffic it didn't hiccup, on a virus outbreak day.

It's running MD 2.39.

Your hardware sounds super beefy for your load.

Make sure you optimize your sendmail configuration, you can get much
better performance by configuring aggressive sendmail timeouts.
