Ok now I have reduced the number of process to 15. Now I am no more running
out of RAM but still I see spamassassin is using relatively high memory.

Also I am still getting "Deep recursion" message in log file
>>>
May 4 14:44:32 spam-scanner-01 spamd[12221]: Deep recursion on subroutine
"Mail::SpamAssassin::Message::Node::finish"
at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Mail/SpamAssassin/Message/Node.pm
line 659
>>>
Previously I was running perl 5.8.5 which was installed from binary
package
from the installation cd. Now I have reinstalled 5.8.5 from ports. But still
I am getting same message.
It will be great if someone could point me to right direction. Next I am going
to sync my ports from latest cvs and recompile perl and other modules again.
thanks a lot,
