Hi Flesso,
Thanks for the response. I'm fairly new to Linux, so I'm guessing I need to run these commands from a secure shell using root? (I've used WinSCP3 in the past but just tried to access using it again and I can't authenticate, so I've sent a message to
VPS Hosting support).
In a recent note from a
VPS Hosting SysAdmin they told me I was using 110Mb of 384Mb. Although I don't understand how the memory allocation works, I'd have thought you should be using pretty much all your memory at any one time, and paging out less active stuff to your page file. Another thing the SysAdmin told me was that I'd had 9136825 fail counts for memory.
I'll run those commands and get the info out here for all to see
On the inbound mail side, I can't say for sure how much mail it is having to scan, but it is weeding out a lot of Spam, so I'm sure there is some load there (I'd say a few hundred spam messages a day across the
VPS Hosting). Would it be more on quantity of messages than actual message size (e.g. a message with a large attachment would take a lot longer to scan that 100 small messages??). Is there an (easy - remember I'm pretty new to this
)way I can see what the mail traffic has been for a period of time? Is there some sort of counter I could setup so I could monitor this.
Regards
Paul
