My home system hosed up a bit ago. I'm at work ssh'd in to read my mail and happened to have top running on a window that I was able to cut and paste from after it froze. Here's what top was showing when it went away on me:

All those python instances are tmda. I'm running the tmda-0.80-4mdk RPM from
mandrake with python-2.3-2mdk and my own qmail-ldap RPM.
I recently updated my system from older versions of TMDA, Python, the kernel,
and various other things and the system started to run slower. The CPU
utilization has been higher since then. I'd been trying to figure out what
was going on and think this might also be a clue to that if I was VM starved.
Anyway, I was wondering if there is any way to tell qmail to defer a message
rather than calling TMDA if I've got less than a certain amount of VM left.
Maybe a wrapper around tmda-filter in my .qmail file?
