Hi,
Thanks Flesso/DPS.
I'm confused about the memory numbers though. Just had a look at my
Dedicated Server status and have this, all green lighted, but the memory used is just under 80% which is when it goes to a warning amber light.
spamd up
imap up
cpsrvd up
exim (exim-4.63-1_cpanel_maildir) up
mysql (4.1.21-standard) up
pop up
named (9.2.4) up
httpd (1.3.37 (Unix)) up
ftpd up
Server Load 0.02 (2 cpus)
Memory Used 77.9 %
Swap Used 42.21 %
Disk simfs (/) 50 %
But how do these number relate to what we see in top?
Mem: 2068072k total, 2048360k used, 19712k free, 45240k buffers
Swap: 2096440k total, 885188k used, 1211252k free, 407372k cached
Where it seems I actually only have 19Mb free from 2Gb??? Or am I reading thiese numbers wrong?.
I can't stop Spam Assassin as it is working well for us and catching hundreds of spam messages a day, but I have limited it to being enabled just on the accounts that are getting heavy spam (13 out of 49).
I was planning on using Mailman on one of our accounts to manage a mailing list, but if it is a resource hog then I'll look at stopping it.
I've set the catchall's to fail and removed squirrel mail, box trapper spam trap, and spam assassin spam box delivery to see if they make any difference. I have created a custom pop acount that filters all mail for an account that is marked with a spam score of 5 or more so the users can whitelist any incorrectly tagged messages. Eventually I hope to set it to just delete the spam messages once the respective users are convinced nothing genuine will get tagged.
I'll do the Apache changes after I've seen what sort of affect these changes have.
But the whole memory thing is still confusing me. I'd expect to see somewhere that I've the 384Mb my
VPS Hosting has, and a percentage of that in use (that corrolates with the percentage in use we see in the server status), but the number just don't add up...
Thanks again for your help with this.
Regards
Paul
