Yeah, bring that 50 down a little :) Maybe 10. More memory NEVER hurt anyone! Currently with BigEvil I'm running 51 megs for spamd!!! But the record on a production server is something like 145. I think it was a crazy german ;) Your memory usage looks pretty normal. I haven't updated BE in a while. Plan on doing this afternoon. For the remaining people using BE, "WTH is wrong with you?" :-) --Chris
