Antidrug is not needed with current versions of SA. > BLACKLIST_URI You should use the ws.surbl.org version of this blacklist instead. See here for more info: http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/SURBL > BLACKLIST This is a 16M rulefile and probably a major contributor to your memory load. > SARE_SPAMCOP_TOP200 The current versions of SA already use this list as a network test. If you have network tests enabled, you don't need this. Other than that, all I can say is that you have quite a few rules. You may want to try removing some of them and restarting spamd. Just do some trial and error and see which ones make the most difference. -- Bowie
