Package: swaks
Version: 0+20061116.0-2
Severity: normal

I need to test a mail server that has to support messages nearly 100M in size.
So I created a 99MB test file and redirected swaks stdin from the file with
the "--body -" option.  This resulted in a swaks process that took over 1.6G
of virtual memory with well over 1G paged in.

I think that any RAM requirement more than twice the size of the body is
excessive.
