    I am seeing some interesting activity with the amavisd processes. All looks good until one of the processes decides to go hog wild with my RAM. I just killed a process that was using more than 550 megs of real memory. Needless to say this causes a variety of problems. Well mostly just SLOW delivery. And on a production day people don’t seem to like that?

    I have not been able to determine what is the cause and was hoping someone had some ideas.

    Anyone?

    You do any custom edits to the files?

    what files? postfix? amavisd?

    the postfix conf file (main.cf) is modified.

    I did make some changes to amavisd.conf but not until after all this went down. the only changes there I made:
    $max_servers = 6; # number of pre-forked children (default 2)
    $max_requests = 3; # retire a child after that many accepts (default 10)
