It's quite normal for just the "free" memory number to be low. Most OS's will turn free memory into a really big disk cache if they can, but they'll readily turn this back into memory for processes when needed. In your example, you've got 37024k of "total" free memory, even though there's only 1848k that's truly not being used at all. However, 1335848k of swap is being used, which is more than 3 times as much as your total free memory.. That's not good, and likely indicates you'll be grinding your disk quite heavily as processes thrash in and out of the swap.

Try modifying that "-m 60" to something more sane, like the default, which would be "-m 5". If you've got a lot of mail going through, 5 won't handle it, so for that I might start at 15. If your mail starts backing up, you can increase the number of spamd children, but be aware that too many will just grind your system to a halt. Try adding spamd children in increments of 5, and watch the "top" output. Your swap used should never be more than mem free if you can avoid it. You've got a gig of ram, and your spamds are 30mb a pop or so... you should be ok up to about 20-25 spamd children, depending on how much other stuff is eating your memory, but you'll quickly run into trouble if you go over 30. (30 spamds at 30mb each is 900mb of ram.. probably the absolute max you can fit even if the server isn't doing anything else but mail..)

Please look the attach file( top -d1 ). Thank you so munch ! I don't run qmail or spamd, but I can tell you that you shouldn't be running so many spamd processes. You probably only need a couple. Whatever program is calling the scanning should be calling spamc. Your system is most definitely not properly configured, so I would review the correct instructions to do so.
