 It is, it is ...

 I have described my setup in
  http://msgs.securepoint.com/cgi-bin/get/postfix0004/183.html

 And I'm quite sure that a 486 class machine would not be sufficient
 in our particular environment. It would probably work fine on average,
 even on peak times (1000 deliveries/hour - still not much), but the real
 killers are a) large attachments, and b) attachments with many files - .zip,
 .tgz etc.
 
 Though, the performance of amavis-perl is probably at least an order
 of magnitude better than AMaViS (the original, shell script).
