> amavis gets up to 800 MB - 1GB :-( As Gary noted, unlike amavisd-new (which keeps mail mostly on files and accesses a database in buffer chunks of managable size), Maia loads the entire mail message into memory in order to be able to store it to SQL in a single operation. This is killing your host which is low on RAM and seemingly low on swap space too. > TROUBLE in check_mail: mime_decode-1 FAILED: run_command (open pipe): > Can't fork at /usr/lib/perl/5.8/IO/File.pm line 70, <GEN[Y]> line [X]. > at /usr/sbin/amavisd-new line 1656, <GEN[Y]> line [X]. > perhaps it cannot fork as it has no memory left? Yes, fork fails when swap space is full. Increase you swap space or reduce the number of concurrent amavisd processes, or limit the maximum mail size at your MTA.
