# Performance tuning
[TOC]
If you're running a busy mail server (many inbound/outbound emails every day),
you can follow below suggestions for better performance.
### Setup a DNS server in LAN or localhost to cache DNS queries
Mail services heavily rely on DNS service and perform many many DNS queries,
a cache DNS server in LAN or localhost helps a lot.
### Enable postscreen service to help reduce spam
* [Enable postscreen service](./enable.postscreen.html)
If you don't want to use postscreen service, you can [enable DNSBL service](./enable.dnsbl.html)
instead, it helps a lot too, but less effective than postscreen service.
postscreen and DNSBL service help catch a lot spam, save much system resource.
### Update Amavisd + Postfix config files to process more emails concurrently
