[Mimedefang] BIG problems with mimedefang

[Mack]

Max Size of Emails * Number of MD threads = Ram Disk

so for a 10mb Email size
and 15 threads it would be 150mb (+a few mb for the heck of it - but you get
the idea)


Cheers

Mack

Hi David,

I think moving /var/spool/MIMEDefang onto a RAMdisk is a good idea. I've not
set up a RAMdisk before, but I've done some googling and think I can get it
done.

Question: I have 512 MG RAM on the system. Say I decrease MX_MAXIMUM to 15,
how big should I make the RAMdisk?

Thanks,

Lisa
