You provide no data how you end up with the 4MB etc. And MD is not SA, it might do all sorts of funky stuff. How about actually trying the provided spamd line yourself and not keep again theorizing how someone is measuring wrong etc? Well actually here is the one I used to get 50 childs.. pasted wrong one. spamd -4 -p 1234 -m 50 --min-children=50 --min-spare=40 --max-conn-per-child=1000 --round-robin -L Just feed a lot of random messages with spamc -p 1234.
