[Mimedefang] RE: Slave problem, "out of memory"

[Jim Shewmaker]

Thanks, so far, no limits is a good thing!

Now, I just need to set my filter to move spam into an imap folder.  I saw
how to re-assemble with sendmail, but does anybody have a favorite way to
put it into an IMAP folder?  I have the luxury of enforcing IMAP only!  This
would complete my Christmas wishlist early!  I know normally this is the
sort of thing you force the client to do, but I very much want a standard
folder for it to be in.  Thanks for any tips, as well as the great help
that's on this list in general.

I neglected to mention my startup file has:

MX_MAX_RSS=10000
MX_MAX_AS=30000

As the standard ports installed it.

Using FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE, mimedefang (2.38), I get these occasionally:

Nov 18 16:11:26 mail mimedefang-multiplexor: Slave 0 stderr: Out of memory
during "large" request for 2101248 bytes, total sbrk() is 29220864 bytes at
(eval 61) line 6.

And then that slave dies.  It does appear most of my mail is getting
through.  Pretty standard filter, just with graphdefang logging.
SpamAssassin is only being ran on <256kB.  Using File-Scan 0.74 as well.  

System is a Dual PIII from Dell (1650) with a RAID 5 setup.  Load averages
at about 0.25, and it's not that busy of a server.  It would be even less if
it wasn't running nagios monitoring of other sites.  I do have 1 GB of RAM
(about half in use) plus 2 GB of swap that never gets touched unless there's
an outbreak.  Using Perl 5.8.1 from the ports (just a couple of weeks out of
date).

Any thoughts?  This one didn't jump out at me from the archives.  Thanks for
a great product.
