1. a softlimit value of 35000000 works for me on x86_64 (qpsmtpd process
is ~30M)
I just enabled the tls plugin and memory usage jumped to ~45M!
7086 qpsmtpd 15 0 44112 12m 2788 S 0.0 0.6 0:00.31 qpsmtpd
That's kinda big, isn't it?
I'm going to be installing a mail server on an x86_64 box soon with an
incoming concurrency of around 50. That's 2250MB RAM just for the
qpsmtpd processes. Eek.

At first I didn't see any point in a 12-way smp machine using
a dozen via 800mhz(slow!) cpu's, but then I remembered that
via has a cpu with tls capability right on the cpu. There' no
way to do the same thing across the bus as fast. The linux
kernel source can use that via chip.

With iptables this means the gateway would do tls for smtp
and imap and https. Encryption cards and servers can't
compete, nor just using the cpu(although if one cpu is
six times as fast...pretty good alright muddle through).
