I tried skipping the rbl already with no luck. Here is my current ps output with half of my rules disabled:
[firewall:/etc/mail/spamassassin] admin# ps -aux | grep spam mta 4640 41.7 20.9 174920 164612 ?? R 11:14AM 15:50.12 /usr/bin/spamd -u mta -d -r /var/run/spamd.pid mta 4916 37.0 18.0 155332 141792 ?? R 11:26AM 4:46.39 /usr/bin/spamd -u mta -d -r /var/run/spamd.pid mta 4570 0.0 0.8 17388 6156 ?? Ss 11:12AM 0:03.14 /usr/bin/spamd -u mta -d -r /var/run/spamd.pid This is not that bad. Typically it gets to 15+ processes and then a manual hard reboot is required. This system has 700+ MB or RAM. Dan > -----Original Message----- > From: Robert A.
