That seems pretty unusual. I run a test-system cluster with 4 very old boxes, each with only 384Mb RAM. They each run typically 2-3 spamd children, but don't think I've ever seen that kind of memory usage. Mind you, I only scan mails that are less than 2Mb.
Ah, and that email is not spam. It is a dump of a WhatsApp chat with multimedia attachments.
How big is the email itself? spamd does need to keep it in-core, so until a child is re-spawned, the memory usage might remain at the amount required for the largest email. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (14.4°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
