Load limiting virus filters in Procmail

2002-11-22 03:35:54
Some spam filters can be CPU and memory hogs. I recently installed
Spamassassin on an otherwise adequate mail server (admittedly pretty
ancient hardware) and found that multiple instances of Spamassassin were
virtually bringing the system to it's knees. A simple fix was to add a
lock file, so ensuring that only one Spamassassin ran at any time:

:0fw:/tmp/spamassassin.lock
| /usr/local/bin/spamassassin

Hope this may be useful to someone else.
