I have found that any setting for ok_languages/ok_locales
other than default (all?) is a big memory hog on my system.
A colleague of mine with an identically configured system
reported the same thing, but of course I don't know if this
issue is peculiar to our systems.

The OTHER thing that gives me a consistent Out of Memory
error are emails with very large attachments.  Because of my
systems' limitations, I have SA configured as
follows:

* < 30000
|/usr/local/bin/spamassassin -a

with a POST - SA procmail recipe designed to scan mail that
has been missed by SA and catch at least some of the spam
that had escaped previously because of the overload on
system memory.

There is no magic as to what is the size of emails that
should be allowed through -- I just reviewed system logs to
determine what the break-point seemed to be for my system.
