3.0.2 is better than 3.0.1 in this regard, so the first thing I'd do is
upgrade.
That may not be a complete solution, so if you are using spamd, I'd
set ---max_con_per_child to something reasonably low, like 20..50 or so.
There are still a couple of things that can eat memory and already have bugs
assigned, so will probably be fixed in a while. But limiting the number of
connections per spamd child should help a lot.
Also with spamd, what is the max number of children? With your low email
rate, I'd probably limit the number of children to 4..5 or so, probably no
more than 10.
