Hello,
In the past 4 years we have tried using both Postfix and Qmail, several different virtual-domain packages, and spam assassin.
We handle many different domains for our customers so virtual domain support is an absolute requirement, this goes for the pop3 side as well as the MTA side.
Recently we have had to shut spam assassin off of our qmail server because it was running the load average so high that it was ceasing to function properly.
You can put SpamAssassin on a separate server, which should fix your problem. Are you using spamd/spamc? That should take care of the startup overhead, after that Perl should slow things down too bad. I don't know of a better Anti-Spam system though. Chris
Thanks
