Rick, The ps/grep gives me 1644 ? S 0:00 supervise qmail-smtpd 25761 pts/3 R 0:00 grep smtp That doesn't help me or you :-(
The db eats memory 'cos it's Oracle. That's fine - it's supposed to. But the mail volume on the whole isn't great - I think the box should cope. The SMTP process concurrency angle is my favourite culprit at the moment. If only I can work out where to put the limit...

I'm not sure why the database would eat up all the memory. I have 2 machines, neither has more than 640MB, both run Mysql (master/slave), and I have plenty of memory. Unless you're using your mail server for something other than mail?
