The mimedefang process is now taking between 0.1 and 0.3 %CPU. It
grew to well over 50% with -y.

No one else has noticed this? It's a huge difference.

I've not used the -y option in production, so no, I didn't notice.
Thanks for pointing it out; might want to file a bug with sendmail.org. It would be helpful if you could obtain a core dump of the huge MIMEDefang process to make sure the leak is in libmilter (though I cannot think of where
else it might happen.)

Random data point: I appear to have been running with '-y' on for many weeks currently and for multi-month stretches prior to that as a result of some troubleshooting with Postfix something like a year ago, and have never noticed any memory leakage or CPU hogging as a result. I literally turned it on in troubleshooting and forgot about it, forgetting about it and never noticing it as an issue. The version of libmilter MD uses is 8.15.2 and I *THINK Postfix uses the same version, but it's statically linked and I can't tease out a version.
