BigEvil has been getting really large, so when I deleted the BigEvil ruleset it saved 30 MB per processes (MailScanner defaults to 5 processes) so that saved me 150 MB of memory usage. It probably processes a lot faster now too.
The Spamcopuri program does RBL lookups on the content of an email (links, pictures, etc.). It doesn't take much memory, but it is useful to have a caching-DNS server.
To delete only the BigEvil ruleset, delete the "bigevil.cf" file. Then edit the file "my_rules_du_jour" and remove the word "BIGEVIL" from the line that looks like this...
Before: TRUSTED_RULESETS="TRIPWIRE ANTIDRUG EVILNUMBERS RANDOMVAL BOGUSVIRUS BIGEVIL"
After: TRUSTED_RULESETS="TRIPWIRE ANTIDRUG EVILNUMBERS RANDOMVAL BOGUSVIRUS"
Then restart OpenProtect.
P.S. I want to discuss with S. Karthikeyan the default rulesets included with Openprotect. Thanks!

Dear Matt Bullock,
Running redhat 9, version 5.0.1.5,
Ran openprotect-uninstall, then installed 5.0.1.7. It started fine, but once I made any changes to Mailscanner.conf and restarted openprotect, I started getting messages that spamassassin was timing out. Mail wouldn't process any further, and it would just sit in the queue. I tried reinstalling, then uninstalling and reinstalling. Same problem as before - as soon as I restarted openprotect spamassassin would time out.
I noticed after I installed 5.0.1.7, almost all physical memory was in
use, and about 256 meg of swap was in use. Does the new version require
more memory than I have?
You should probably set this in /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf:
SpamAssassin Local Rules Dir =
instead of the default
SpamAssassin Local Rules Dir = /etc/MailScanner/SA/RulesDuJour
This set of rulesets should've caused the extra delay in SpamAssassin processing.
cheers, Karthikeyan, S.
