guys thanks for the fast replays
Then, restructuring the mail-box:
Hardware: Pentium III 1.4Ghz 256 RAM 40 GB HD-IDE
Soft: CentOS 4.2 Postfix (Cyrus-IMAPd|wu-imapd|courrier) MailScanner [moved] \ [1] Spanassassin [moved] /
Partitioning(in MB): / 8.000 /boot/ 100 swap 512 /home/ 14.888 /tmp/ 500 /var/spool/imap/ 2.000 # This could be as a Cyrus Swap, moreover of System Swap? /var/spool/mail/ 14.000
[1] To somewhere else where the mail box connect before sending and receiving mails to check for, or maybe another tricky configuration?. :)
I will second the recommendation to increase your RAM to 1 GB. SpamAssassin tends to use lots of RAM. As long as you can keep it out of swap, it runs great, but as soon as it runs out of memory and starts swapping, your performance will drop like a rock and probably cause mail to start piling up.
Your machine should be fast enough to run ClamAV and SpamAssassin locally, as long as you increase the RAM.
