I have my running on a 486 with only 20MB!! It runs fine but I had
to make sure that one and only one mail is being processed at a time
[sendmail and queues did the job here]. I managed to process
over 1000 mails in less than 5 hours running spamd on nice 19.
I know that without the daemon, it took about 30s for each mail
with lots of swap. With the daemon, [most messages I get
are from debian mailing lists so they are not huge], it takes
less than 5s per message with little swap.
But, no matter what the machine you have, you have to cap it down
or it will not handle a large enough load.
