Tweak it down to something like -m 6 and see what happens. There was a thread about this about 6 weeks ago. Search for "SA 3.01 memory" in the archives.
After tweaking it, watch the processes to see if any grow. Tweak it up from there. My spamd processes take about 45mb each. For you that would be around 2.2gb. That might be why you are running out of memory. With 2gb, 2.2gb dedicated to SA leaves about -200mb for the OS. I bet your swap is about 400mb about 20 minutes after startup... My math says you should be good around -m 20 through. Just play with it. -m 50 per second would be 4.2 million messages a day...
