You are seeing the child of spamd. Both are not taking 20 megs of memory, that is the shared memory allocation. I think what you are seeing is the shared memory being applied to each of the other processes because spamd uses linux threads.

Hi.

We need to run spamd on a linux system with minimal memory resources. I
noticed that spamd seems to be running twice, each of the instances
taking up over 20mb of memory. I already tried setting
"--max-children=0" in the OPTIONS parameter in
/etc/default/spamassassin. Unfortunately this did not really work.

Any ideas?

Regards,
Jan
