Has any progress been made re this issue. I'm seeing significant leaks in pop3d
as well running from stock 1.1.

After less than a day on a server serving < 10 clients:

When I was debugging my LDAP code for DBMail, I compiled with ccmalloc:

and found it to be an excellent tool to help track down leaks.

Perhaps this should be a main goal of the 1.2 release...

Hi

I have been using dbmail for a while now and have noticed that the
dbmail-imapd daemon seems to cause ever increasing memory usage.
This seems to happen when an IMAP client (in my case Evolution) is
connected to dbmail.

To illustrate my point I have included the output of the free command
below:
Following ">>" are commands used to see this behavior.


free -tm

            total       used       free     shared    buffers cached

killall dbmail-imapd
sleep 10

Now I am not sure what is using all that memory or if it is even
dbmail-imapd or maybe mysql, but since killing dbmail-imapd recovers the
memory I thought I raise it here.

I am currently using dbmail 1.1, with mysql 3.23.54 on a redhat 8.0
machine with 512 MB memory.
