Hi
I have been using dbmail for a while now and have noticed that the
dbmail-imapd daemon seems to cause ever increasing memory usage.
This seems to happen when an IMAP client (in my case Evolution) is
connected to dbmail.
To illustrate my point I have included the output of the free command
below:
Following ">>" are commands used to see this behavior.
>>free -tm
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 501 492 9 0 30 48
-/+ buffers/cache: 413 88
Swap: 415 57 358
Total: 917 549 367
>> killall dbmail-imapd
>> sleep 10
>> free -tm
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 501 220 281 0 30 48
-/+ buffers/cache: 140 361
Swap: 415 54 361
Total: 917 274 643
>>dbmail-imapd
>>free -tm
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 501 220 281 0 30 48
-/+ buffers/cache: 140 361
Swap: 415 54 361
Total: 917 274 643
Now I am not sure what is using all that memory or if it is even
dbmail-imapd or maybe mysql, but since killing dbmail-imapd recovers the
memory I thought I raise it here.
I am currently using dbmail 1.1, with mysql 3.23.54 on a redhat 8.0
machine with 512 MB memory.
