Hello amavis users, I have noticed a huge amount of swap usage (around 150 MB with 512 MB of physical RAM). So now I am trying to save memory as much as possible. I reduced $max_servers to 1 in amavisd.conf as supposed in the README.performance file. After a restart of amavisd-new swap usage went down under 100 MB.
Besides the daemons that I need for mail, the machine runs bind, apache and mysql. I also limited memory usage for those programs as good as I can. This brought me down to around 20 MB in swap. The problem is, that over time I still get over 100 MB swap usage. Obviously amavisd-new is to blame because when I just do a restart of it, I get down to the 20 MB swap. What I also noticed is, that there are 2 amavisd-new processes after my max_servers reduction (from above). Can I run amavisd-new with $max_servers = 0? Which other measures do you know to limit or to save memory? I am using amavisd-new-20030616p10-5 with spamassassin-3.0.3-1 and clamav-0.85.1-2 connected to exim-3.35-1 on a Debian woody. (I know that these are very old versions) TIA Timo ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl _______________________________________________ AMaViS-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/amavis-user AMaViS-FAQ:http://www.amavis.org/amavis-faq.php3 AMaViS-HowTos:http://www.amavis.org/howto/
