I have been reading the wiki some and I didn't find this yet. Maybe there
are too many variables.

I got some help getting a fairly basic CentOS 5.5 VPS set up with
qmailtoaster.
I ran out of RAM and had trouble even logging in with SSH
I read some list archives and got clamav shut off which was taking up 40%
memory
Now in TOP I see this.
Mem:    393216k total,   219456k used,   173760k free,        0k buffers

This is without clamav taking up an additional 160mb.

Would people expect my config to take up this much RAM?
Say I have 3 users and one very active sending our 1000 emails a week,
receiving maybe 100 emails total a week.
How much RAM do you think I will need?
Is there a way to estimate the system needs?

Are there optimizations that you might recommend to clean things up?
Or am I just being cheap and should up the RAM on my VPS?

I don't expect the server to have any other significant usage, some very
basic webpages with low load.

Thanks
Fred
