Spam Filtering

Specify the number of Spam Scanner instances to be created and used
for spam analysis.
Number of spam scanner
instances
Specify the number of Spam Scanner
instances to be created and used for spam
analysis. As one instance of the spam
scanner is capable of processing one mail
message at a time, this setting defines how
many messages will undergo spam analysis
simultaneously.
You might need to modify this setting if you
enable Realtime Blackhole Lists (DNSBL/
RBL) for spam filtering. For more
information, consult F-Secure Anti-Virus for
Microsoft Exchange Deployment Guide.
You have to restart the Content Scanner
Server after you change this setting and
distribute the policy to take the new setting
into use.
IMPORTANT: Spam analysis is a
processor-intensive operation and each
spam scanner instance takes approximately
25MB of memory (process fsavsd.exe). Do
not increase the number of instances unless
the product is running on a powerful
computer.
