Good day,
I am on Plesk 9.5 and not getting joy from the optimization steps posted by atomicturtle in thread http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=50062
When I am running SA, my mail server goes extremely slow to the levels of smtp and pop3 ports timing out on users. The CPU load will be above 12. The moment I disabled SA, the CPU load drops to around 2 and the server is very responsive.
The problem is the spam is too much without SA running and my clients off course notices and complain about it.
- How can I optimize SA, or is it just purely a hardware resource issue?
- I am thinking of running spam filter on separate server, any advice and recommendations?
Below is an indication of the slowness SA is scanning the messages, with values up to 50sec common.
