Anyone have an idea of the Mail::SpamAssassin memory requirements?
It isn't Mail::SpamAssassin that consumes memory - these are simply Perl libraries. As you've found out, it's the calling program, usually run as a daemon.
I've no experience with IMAPAssassin, but spamd runs as a parent spawning children on demand - as does amavisd-new. Active spamd processes typically consume up to 22-25 MB each on my RH 7.2/Perl 5.6.1 Linux m/c and non-active 16-17 MB. Active Amavis processes an amazing 70+ MB (there's usually only one active at a time out of 3 max configured) and non-active around 33 MB.
AFAICS, these are not threaded, LWP processes, they are concurrent, so memory consumption is cumulative. And obviously i don't run both at once.
