Per everyone's recommendation I have removed the following .cf files from my /etc/mail/spamassassin directory:
bigevil.cf bogus-virus-warnings.cf tripwire.cf and left the following: 70_sare_random.cf evilnumbers.cf antidrug.cf DomainDigits1.cf As far as I can tell those are all the "third party" rule sets. Indeed my memory usage dropped from 90mb to 36mb per child. Are all of those lists not needed anymore? Should I go ahead and remove the ones I left behind? Thanks!
