I watched a spamd child grow to 250MB yesterday on a single message. I have a suspicion that the memory usage growth is happening on a whitelist or bayes database maintenance event of some sort.
For folks that are seeing huge jumps in memory, instead of gradual growth, how are you calling SA?
spamd (on a fast machine) via spamass-milter on the MX host. I use no external rules (only sa 3.0 supplied ones). I do not use Razor, DCC, or the others. I do use the DNSBL's. It happens a couple of times a day, and always the jump is to 320MB. The messages themselves (according to the logs) are only around 2-3k. I think it is a bug somewhere. Limiting the children to 1 message before termination seems to be doing well to keep it under control. No more untagged spam has slipped through since I enabled it Sunday.
OTOH, SA 3.0 seems to be doing a *much* better job at catching spam. Big improvement over 2.6x, so I'll keep it :)
Thanks, Michael
