Not sure how we resolve this since we're calling the command?  Should we delete 
the archives before running rmlist in the type?

Bug #3520: removing maillist uses huge amount of memory
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3520

Author: Peter Meier
Status: Needs more information
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: 
Category: maillist
Target version: 
Affected version: 0.25.5rc1
Keywords: 
Branch: 


Setting a maillist resource to absent causes to puppet to use a huge amount of 
memory (up to 1G and then my server was often knocked out or I remembered that 
bug and terminated puppet).

My guess is that this seems to happen because maillist removes the archive 
directories etc. which can be pretty huge. But if I remove first the archive 
directories by hand and then run puppet it removes a maillist immediately and 
as it should. So somewhere in calling @rmlist@ there is something that causes 
to allocate that much memory.

Unfortunately if you run it it with --debug --verbose etc. it won't tell you 
anything it just hangs at the same position where it would hang in normal mode.
