1. a softlimit value of 35000000 works for me on x86_64 (qpsmtpd

I just enabled the tls plugin and memory usage jumped to ~45M!

That's kinda big, isn't it?
Sadly that's Perl for you.
I'm going to be installing a mail server on an x86_64 box soon with an
incoming concurrency of around 50. That's 2250MB RAM just for the
qpsmtpd processes. Eek.
No, most of the RAM is in modules which are loaded in the parent
process, so the forked children use Copy On Write, meaning the memory
is shared between them unless it's written to. You should be using a
lot less than that.
