Interesting..

I killed dbmail-lmtpd, and restarted them again.. And I'm back to the same memory usage again already.

So, where to start looking? As a little status update, I now have 13.000 mail in the database consuming about 1.2GB mailbox space and 1.5GB total db size on disk. Delivery is getting a little slower than initally too, averaging 70mail per minute now. (Again: Untweaked setup) -=Dead2=-
