Hey there folks, I've installed a mail server following your virtual mysql users tutorial for Ubuntu (i've done this so many times its pretty much memorised) and every time I find my servers memory usage being slaughtered by these two processes. Code: 1204 clamav 20 0 303m 173m 704 S 0 35.2 0:00.00 clamd 1202 amavis 20 0 221m 90m 2404 S 0 18.4 0:00.46 amavisd-new 954 amavis 20 0 219m 87m 568 S 0 17.7 0:01.87 amavisd-new 1203 amavis 20 0 221m 87m 460 S 0 17.7 0:00.03 amavisd-new Is there any way I can get the memory usage down, or remove them completely and use RBL lists or the like. Any help would really be appreciated (got a new mail server needs to be live in a few hours ;p) Thanks, Lee.
Unfortunately clamd and amavisd are memory-hungry. You could try to reduce the amavisd child processes (e.g. from four to two), but I'm not sure if it helps.
I tried that but unfortunately it still hogs the server. I've tried searching around for a tutorial that just uses spamassassin/rbl's instead but can't seem to find anything conclusive. Any pointers?
