Can anyone report on what sort of resources are needed to run spamassassin adequately? Since the upgrade to sarge, SA has totally killed our virtual machine. We have the lowest-tier bytemark VM (64MB mem). With a prefork limit of four processes and maximum nice, spamd still brings it to its knees. How does dspam compare in resources usage terms? I would say, set the limit to 1 or 2.  Last time I checked, spamd used ~15MB ram per process, but I forget how much was shared between the processes. Mike
