Actually as I read the sequence of messages it went in a circle with Alan
asking the same question all over again in the message to which I replied.
If I mis-read it please forgive.

Very true. However I started with 1 gig of ram, then 2, then 8.
Each time it gets up to using the swap space, regardless of how much I put
in there.

The data he showed did NOT show ANY swap space being used. That needed
underscoring since he still seemed not to understand this.

We already reached that conclusion. ;-)
Anyway, if it is a memory leak, the swap should start to fill up sooner or
later.
Keep in mind thought, that it would be waste of memory, if your systems and application
use about 4GB , to leave the other 4GB doing nothing. Linux will gradually fill it up with
cache and buffers.
And looking at the numbers, the system's cache is already about 3GB big:
2867736k cached
So I think this system is running smoothly...

The data you showed, Alan, does NOT show the swap space being used.
Mem: 8108656k total, 5907792k used, 2200864k free, 218704k
buffers Swap: 2031608k total, 0k used, 2031608k free,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^
2867736k cached
So you are reading the report wrong. There is NOTHING wrong indicated
in that data you provided.

Thanks for the thoughts, I will let this one ride out a little longer to see
what happens.

Indeed, as long as it says swap: 0k used I would say it is just good memory
management. :-)

That doesn't show spamd is using memory. It's the overall system, and of
course it will use all RAM after some time. Look at "top" and sort by
memory used (press shift+M while running top) to see the biggest memory
using programs first. "ps auxw|grep spamd" could also help.
