Are you using the -m parameter of spamd to limit the number of children it will spawn? I'd suggest something like -m 6 to start with. Yeah it is setup for 50: -d -c -a -m50 -u user -v -H -d, --daemonize Daemonize -c, --create-prefs Create user preferences files -a, --auto-whitelist, --whitelist Use auto-whitelists -u username, --username=username Run as username -v, --vpopmail Enable vpopmail config -H dir Specify a different HOME directory, path optional
