Oh I'm getting close guys. Looks like MIME decoding is using a lot of memory on certain messages.. Here are 3 different messages (7bit, 8bit, and no encoding) that are blowing up. I hope to obtain copies of these as soon as the senders retry. This is why I'm seeing message #2 below every 14-16 minutes past the hour. Realize my softlimit is 75MB.. My spamd children usually run 25-30MB..
