I see what you mean. As I said: Perl on Windows uses much more! About double! So, blaim that first. Then, the usage of SA is roughly known, it is at 20-40 MB per instance, depending on the number of rules you use, the OS, the Perl version and maybe some other factors. Bayes doesn't add much, really. Everyone says, but it doesn't, I checked it some time back. It only adds CPU cycles and some spikes when expiring, but it doesn't add much to a spamd instance. So, the gpcsa alone accounts for maybe 30 - 40 MB, while SA accounts for possibly 20 - 30 MB (it uses less if run as a library, as gpcsa seems to do, than as as spamd daemon). So, you are at 60 MB, now double that. Kai -- Kai Sch�tzl, Berlin, Germany Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com IE-Center: http://ie5.de & http://msie.winware.org
