Hi, I have a question regarding how your product scales to an enterprise. To give you a better idea of "enterprise" we see on average 2000 email messages per hour.

Does anyone have any information or experience on how this product scales to this level of traffic? I love the product, and it works great but this has been brought up by management as a long term concern.

Any feedback, metrics, tests, or other evidence to support the scalability to this level would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Wayne

Wayne,

Our biggest customer has used SpamFilter on a server that handles about 1 million emails/day, with about 100-300 concurrent incoming connections at any given second. With that load, the SpamFilter process was using on average 30% processor time, and had a memory footprint of about 30-50MB of RAM. I cannot provide the company name without his permission, if they read the postings maybe they will do it for me.

Thanks Roberto, I appreciate the feedback. Hopefully this will alleviate any concerns and I will be able to proceed with a pilot project.
Any further feedback would also be appreciated.

Cheers,
Wayne
