I have had SpamAssassin eating a lot of memory. In order to limit the damage, I set it up with fairly aggressive ulimits. Unfortunately, that means I am now also getting this error message. I don't see crashes, though.
Here is a pared-down version of the script I use to start up spamd: #!/bin/sh ulimit -v 204800 ulimit -m 204800 ulimit -n 256 # This is the beef. Try even lower numbers. # I could not start it at all with ulimit -u 110 ulimit -u 150 perl -T -I lib -w spamd \ --configpath myrules \ --siteconfigpath mapsd.cf \ --helper-home-dir . \ --nouser-config \ --syslog stderr \ --min-children 2 \ --max-spare 5 \ --max-children 40 \ "$@" The ulmit values are otherwise out of contrib/run-masses but I could not run spamd at all with the ulimit -u 30 they have. @Christian: If you signed up for Debian bug reports, only you can unsubscribe.
