Hi!

I have three Sun Fire servers running Solaris 9 and SpamAssassin 3.0.1.
SpamAssassin memory usage seems grow a lot. The machines have 2Gb RAM
each, and I have an hourly cron job that restarts SpamAssassin if more
than 1.5Gb memory is used (if the machine starts swapping, performance
goes through the floor).

So, the questions are a) Does SpamAssassin normally use a this much
memory? b) If so, how much can I expect it to use? c) If not, does
anyone know of any bugs in perl (5.8.0) or Solaris that could cause this
and finally d) is restarting SpamAssassin an acceptable thing to do to
stop it swapping?

The machines each process around 80000 mails/day and we have something
like 25000 users.

Thanks for any help/advice you can give.

Matthew
