Assunto: [Exim] OT: Sizing a virus checking engine

Hi,

We are in the process of adding exiscan, spam assassin and (sophos) virus
checking to our mail system - its all working fine except that I havn't
go a big enough engine to handle the virus checking.

We handle approx 250,000 emails a day and I've tested (and slaughtered) the
virus checking on a Sun ultra 10, 1 Gb memory and 1 300Mhz cpu.

I'm thinking along the lines of a sun fire 280R 2 X 1Ghz cpus plus 4GB memory:

Has anyone got an idea of whether this is likely to handle the job or any
experience to point me to something that can.

Yes I know its a bit like asking how long is a piece of string but........

              Cheers, John
