My guess is that you have too many processes running for the amount of
ram you have.
each vscan process take 60 - 75 MB.
When the machine is way behind, there is 200 - 300 MB of free + inactive RAM.
On this fbsd 6.2, "Top version 3.5beta12" doesn't show the swap info, "Swap: "
is a blank line, but I really don't think the machine is swapping when groaning, looking at the 200
- 300 MB RAM available.
I've turned off pyzor, and left amavis processes at 10. I'll see how it goes
Fri morning.
That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
10 * 70mb = 700mb for vscan/spam
200mb +/- for clamd
50 mb +/- for postfix / amavis etc
= 950 mb used.
Since you said you had 1 gig of memory in the machine, I think there
would be swap being used.
All of our spamd machines have at least 4 gig of ram in them, but we do
run a minimum of 25 children on each.
