Sure you got that reply. You quoted his mail. But you didn't answer the 
question about memory. That's all I pointed out - and got this snap back.

Ron, in case you didn't understand at all: you claim there is a memory 
issue. But you have not provided any stats to date that back this claim. A 
reduction in your "inactive memory" (whatever that is) is no proof for 
nothing at all. What you want to do is check the memory usage of *spamd* 
and related software and provide figures how big it is (absolute and 
relative), how it grows etc. And thinking about this "inactive memory" 
thing I think you should do some research and get information (also to us) 
what this actually means. Without any knowledge about the naming 
conventions on your Mac OS a growing "inactive memory" would actually mean 
something *positive* to me as it might indicate that less memory is in use 
than before. That's a good thing, isn't it? That naming may be a 
misleading trap of your Mac OS. So, you should explain it. And that 
"Activity viewer" (again, whatever that is) may give inaccurate figures, 
anyway. You need to get some figures from command-line tools.
