I'm not sure what causes this, perl or spamassassin.
If you call spamassassin directly, it will eat large amounts of memory - it has to start up a new perl interpreter and load all the rules for each instance. If you call spamc instead, it will only load a lightweight that pipes the message to a running spamd. True, each call to spamd results in a fork, but I think they share memory, so the overhead isn't usually that high. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | When you are in it up to your ears, | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | keep your mouth shut. | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
