I've been running Plesk since they started up. 1. You need more ram. If you are running a server and want to pull out the big guns, you need a big playfield. No amount of trimming will fix this. 2. I have a machine running Plesk for years. It has a gig of ram and ran 70 sites and around 350 mailboxes. It never ran out of ram. I just decommissioned it for a machine with 4G of ram. 3. I never added any huge block lists. I use Rules Du Jour. 4. Consider putting your blocking lists in at the firewall level instead of in SA. -- My other computer is your Windows machine
