Moving from Amavis to new and improved rspamd

[SamTzu]

Seems that lots of people are getting tired of the constant strugle of Amavis and jumping to Rspam bandwagon.
I'm noting clear drop in resource use on every mail server that has switched away from Amavis.
Any thoughts?

We neither use Amavis nor Rspam. This is the Proxmox Mail Gateway forum.

I guess, the right question is:
do you plan to replace spamassassin with rspamd in your mail gateway product?

As I checked the Proxmox Mail Gateway, I also find that, it uses spamassassin, so, as I also replaced spamassassin with rspamd years ago, I am really impressed about its performance.
So, my personal opinion, your product could be less resource hungry with rspamd and could be a better product.

Come on Dietmar
Decade ago You took my advice with LXC and ZFS and Proxmox is rocking now.
Eventually you will move to Rspamd. It's just a queston of time.

Normally PMG uses about 1Gb of RAM per VM.
When Clam loads a new virus DataBase it reloads the new DB before it drops the old effectively doubling RAM usage to 2Gb temporarily.
There is an easy way to configure Clam to drop the old DB before starting the new one.

echo "ConcurrentDatabaseReload no" >> /etc/clamav/clamd.conf && systemctl restart clam*
