Minimal server specs for SA question
Hi there,
I have to set-up a few low power SA boxes. Currently I'm used to
using Intel Xeon 2.6Ghz with 16Gb of memory, but these proposed boxes
are small. I won't buy one unless I know it can do the job. I know the
figures below are tiny, but I don't know the Intel Atoms and what they
can really do.
# of active Email addresses (excluding Email aliases) : 80
# of messages (including rejected) appox 3,500 daily
running : Debian/ SA 3.3.1 and spamass-milter (with MTA postfix,
clamav-milter).
hardware:
http://soekris.eu/shop/net6501_en/
1.6 Ghz Intel Atom E660 (1 core, 2 threads)
1024Mb RAM
Transcend mSATA SSD 32Gb MLC
Cheers for any commentary.
Best regards, Simon.

This year I decommissioned a box with a similar workload, but also
running Apache and mySQL. It had a Celeron 700 and 256Mb of RAM. It was
a little under-specified - it needed more RAM for peak loads, but as it
was email, it just had to queue for a few seconds. It'd still be running
but for one of the PATA drives - went flaky and replacements not readily
available - and it was ~12 years old so owed me nothing.
For what it's worth, this was running FreeBSD, sendmail, postfix and
dovecot (along with Apache/mySQL - which was pushing it). With just
email and 1Gb of RAM you should be laughing. You could probably allocate
half of it as a ramdisk for good effect. If you're using X.11, all bets
are off!
You don't say what you're doing *with* the mail. If it's going into
mailboxes with an IMAP server, you'll need more disk unless the users
are well trained - or NFS?
Don't be scared of the Atom - I use them all the time. My concern is low
energy, low maintenance (little heat = no fan). The boards I use take
about <1A @ 12V (with 2.5" drives) and can realistically be run off
Solar and a car battery.
Just remember Bayesian filtering is what eats CPU, if it comes to
optimisation. But you're talking about a couple of emails a minute,
which is nothing - I'd estimate they'd take between two and ten seconds
each, even with Bayesian filtering - don't even thing of worrying until
they hit fifteen a minute.
Regards, Frank.

Network checks are very efficient and I do not recommend turning them

a datacenter or server room which peaks 40C? Most brand servers
(IBM/HP/etc) would have probably shutdown by then
Nowadays, most "modern" datacenters run at 24C which is a non issue for
the TK boxes.

What the FUD?
All default SA rules and functions use async DNS lookups. Processing time
might be little longer yes, but CPU usage averages the same. You can run
more scans in parallel.
Of course there are some custom plugins out there that don't still use async
lookups.

I would also recommend turning off as many network checks as possible in SA due to redundant and blocking I/O taking up the majority of SA's processing times.
You could also try enabling the compile rule plugin (Rules2XS I believe?) and running sa-compile, however, our in-production benchmarks did not record any performance increases, but it may help you squeeze some slight fraction of performance increase from your server.

got a couple of similar setups for a handfull of small schools.
I'd suggest Supermicro Atom 510 1.8GHz with 2 cores + IPMI like these:
http://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/server-systems/1u-rack-server/1u-intel-single-cpu/1he-intel-atom-d525-single-cpu-cse502-server.html
or 1.66GHz without IPMI
http://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/server-systems/1u-rack-server/1u-intel-single-cpu/cse502-server-atom-d510.html
I have Intel 80GB SSDs in them - zero issues. I love these little boxes.

I've no direct experience of Intel Atom boxes, but here are the stats
scraped out of my maillogs with a gawk script:
Min Avg Max
Scan times: 0.9 ( 3420 bytes) 3.6 88.2 ( 50881 bytes)
Msg sizes: 2524 ( 5.2 secs ) 8046 353644 ( 6.4 secs )
Messages: 2058
Scan times are in seconds and will be affected by line delays. Sometimes
my broadband speed drops to under 100 kB/s and the latency goes through
the floor, which is probably why the biggest message (350 kB) took only
6.4 secs to scan while the longest scan time (88.2 secs) was only a 50
kB message.
The box in question is an 855MHz P3 with 512 MB RAM and a 160GB WD
5400rpm IDE disk, so is probably slower than your target hardware. It's
running SA 3.3.2 under RedHat Fedora 13 and is not a dedicated spamd
box.
