Ok, I've googled and obviously I'm not finding the right solution.. But had to reinstall spamassassin on my os/x 10.4 box.

Followed http://developer.apple.com/server/fighting_spam.html .

But, my system is running out of memory, and it looks like Perl / spamassassin is the cause . I've omitted everything but the Perl and Spamassassin related entries:

So what did I do wrong that's causing a Perl process to take up 391 megs?

Obviously, I'm only guessing it's spamassassin related, but that's the only thing I can think of using perl. And I see a few google reference to spamassassin and perl.


Any other information I can provide, please let me know.


Thanks.

Evan
