You can look into clamAV. But if SpamAssassin is too resource intensive I think you will find antivirus scanners to be even more so. clamav+spamassassin scanning in daemon mode takes 10-20 seconds per message. spamassassin scanning in daemon mode takes 2-3 seconds per message. This is based on a Pentiume-II 400MHz 512MB RAM. A very solid set-up that I have is to use postfix + amavisd-new + clamav + spamassassin. It is a little intense in that it will readily suck up the better part of my 512MB of RAM. But it does it all. However, I have to limit the processes to ~10. Still tweaking the values. I'm not sure what resources you are worried about, but I've given you some stats to help you decide. AntiVirus scanning is pretty intense work. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
