No. It's not. It's _virtual_ space. qpsmtpd is using 12MB of physical ram there. Why isn't this a big deal? Because 64 bit machines have more virtual space than we know what to do with. The right answer is to change how you use softlimit. Possibly switching to -r instead of -m, or just raising values. -R
