Thanks Stefano,

Are you saying that James stores in memory a key for every email found for every user in the entire mail db? Wow... I have to keep the 'spam' messages around a while (several days at least) for my users to give them time to check for messages incorrectly flagged as spam. I only have a couple of hundred users. But with the current spam rate, my inbox table has 175,000 records in it, even with pruning spam records after a few days. James is storing 175,000 keys in memory for this? I'm sure there's a reason for that. But it does seem like it's destined for hitting a memory heap limit sooner or later. Is there any way to turn that off? How do JAMES installations with thousands of users handle the memory problem?

Thanks.

Jerry

I'm getting a ton of Out of Memory errors in James in the connections log. (James 2.3.1) I've been running James for about 4 years and am just now beginning to hit these Out Of Memory errors. I don't see any significant changes to the traffic patterns for mail, other than the ever-growing spam count. But spam shouldn't be causing OOMs, should it? This is not a high-traffic server, relatively speaking. And there are too many OOMs in the log for it to be related to one excessively large email, etc. The CPU hangs around 10% most of the time.

But regardless of whether I can identify why I'm getting the OOMs, I have to fix this. Where do you set the heap space allocation for James? I'm assuming the 'recommended' value is whatever the default is set to. But obviously that's not working for me. So what is the maximum safe value I can set the heap size to?

Thanks for a quick response to this so I can get my users back up and running.

Jerry
