What is a clamd.amavisd process? Are you using Mail::ClamAV av entry? > 6744 amavis 67480 amavisd (master) > 8105 amavis 68776 amavisd (ch5-08105-05) > 8126 amavis 68764 amavisd (ch2-08126-02) 67 MB VSZ looks quite normal, perhaps even on the low side. > PS: my SA auto_whitelist file is 320M and I read somewhere that that > could affect memory usage.

The size of a database rarely directly affects the memory used by a process accessing it. Perhaps you confused AWL database with an outdated SARE blacklisting ruleset, which was indeed a huge memory hog.
