monitoring some of the memory used by some of my spamd children, i've
seen a handful hit 87MB of RSS, usually they hang out about 19-21MB.
this is probably directly related to the size of either the bayes db or
the awl db (i guess).  if you want to make sure you get all your mail <
256kb scanned by SA, a softlimit of 60MB may still miss a few, obviously
it depends on your configuration.  

i run network tests and pull sql prefs.  i use the -m flag to softlimit
to limit the amount of membytes to 96MB just to keep a process from
consuming all my memory.  using -a would probably require even more?

fyi, my run file looks like this

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 96000000 /usr/bin/spamd -D -q -x 2>&1
