Hello Matt, Thanks, I've made these changes and the memory usage does not seem bad. It still grows a little, reporting about 26M via top, but definitely not as bad as before. I will do some tests with creating new Mail::SpamAssassin objects instead of re-using one to see if there is any difference in memory usage. I did come across a small message (about 80k), that just causes spamassassin to hang. This message seems to have ALOT of blank lines in it. I've put it up here: http://www.cse.fau.edu/~valankar/blah.gz Didn't debug this much, but I did disable network checks and still the same hang result with this message. I am using SpamAssassin for a large domain which scans about 6 mails/sec via multiple processes. It works great, and I found that 7% of all incoming mail in this domain is spam. Excellent work. Thanks, Viraj. _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
