The Java VM grabs memory from the operating system as it needs it but does not release it, so when you start James and run Postal, the memory usage will increase for a while. How long did it take the memory to reach 687 megabytes? How long after it reached 687 megabytes did you leave the test running.
If the memory reaches a plateau and does not keep crawling up then there may not be a memory leak at all.
