    Exclamation HELP -- SpamAssassin is killing my server.

    Nowadays, every now and then there will be a huge spike whereby the server load will go as high up as 1xx range.

    When I did a 'top' or 'ps aux', I notice that the spike was caused by spamd.

    Not as a whole, but for a 'user' alone.

    Is there a better spam solution?

    Default Andy is pointing you to ASSP

    I am currently installing this and it's working quite well.
