I had been getting complaints lately that mail was being delivered slower
then usual through one of my servers. This server houses several semi-high
traffic domains and a fairly large traffic mailing list. I logged into the
server and the queue wasn't that bad. 150 messages or so. But when I looked
at the qmail processes qmail-rspawn was taking up 30+MB of RAM. I quickly
restarted qmail and things returned to normal and the load average dropped.
I was wondering what could have caused this errata and how I can prevent it
in the future.
