Hi there,
it happened that when many mail come to my server (maybe in reply to
submissions or mailing), the amavis and then antivirus scanning of all email
makes system load to become very high and, in facts, lock the machine. I
putted queue_only_load = 4.0 so if system load is over 4.0 mail are
received but not delivered, and this avoid amavis to check email until the
load is below the limit. Am I right ?
