    Actually.. just to mention something. I don't have the class you
    seek.. but I have noticed something about spamassassin. We were
    using qmail-scanner-queue to process mail with it.. and it works
    excellent.. except that its a massive waste of system resources.

    I would do the following before setting any limits (which should
    be there anyway).. it worked well for us:

    A) Make sure your mail servers use spamc, not spamassassin
    B) Use the following as a processing script replacement for
       qmail-queue:

    #!/bin/sh
    /usr/local/bin/spamc | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue

    Perl is a horrible resource hog at startup time.. one should avoid
    running large numbers of perl scripts over and over again at all
    costs I would say. It is excellent for some things.. but mail is
    not one of them, IMO :)

    Obviously, if your not using qmail (Gasp?!) this doesn't apply :)

    Just my 2 cents. :)
