Lately, I've been having rather high load averages lately on my web/mail
server. From what I can tell, the html traffic hasn't gone up that
much, so I've got to assume that it's mail-related. Here's the
beginning of a "top" that I just ran, sorted by memory usage.
4:17pm up 3 days, 4:55, 4 users, load average: 7.92, 6.89, 6.63
106 processes: 103 sleeping, 1 running, 2 zombie, 0 stopped

spamd has all the top marks. Is this normal for spamd? If not, is there
anything I can do about it? I just added "use_auto_whitelist 0" to my
local.cf file, but it didn't change anything when I HUP killed spamd.
I have 13 users using spamassassin to filter their mail, if that matters.
