128MB of RAM with a 238MB swap partition. It was the defaults from the
FreeBSD install. I never thought it would use it all up. All it does is
handle email.

Mike,


You need to tell us how much memory you have, and your current swap size
before we can really answer your question.


I usually put my swap space at 2X my memory, but lately I don't configure may
servers with less than 512MB any more.

If I were in your shoes, I would consider investing in some more memory (it
is much easier than modifying your swap space, and the machine runs much
faster).  You can safely take it to 512M (even 1gb if your machine can handle
it) and probably notice a significant performance boost.

Subject: [SAtalk] Swap Space


I have a FreeBSD box running sendmail/spamass-milter and spamassassin. This
morning the box decided to run out of swap space and it kept killing the perl
process. Anyone seen this before? How much swap space should I dedicate to
the box? I process about 2000 to 3000 messages a day on a PII 400. I never
thought it would run out of swap space.
