Yes, I did understand that from your first posting. I don't think
antivir is a problem.

Low on RAM, but CPU power is enough for what you run and the amount of
mail.

So Ø 1 mail each 2 minutes. That is not much. Can you say how long a
mail needs from initial connect by the foreign MTA up to the final
storage?

Is fine I think. Did you import a lot of custom rulesets into
SpamAssassin additional to those coming with the package (keyword: rules
du jour)? Do you use RBL checks with SpamAssassin and other external
checks?
