[Mimedefang] Out Of Memory

[Mike Carlson]

I changed the value of MX_MAX_AS=3000 to MX_MAX_AS=150000 and that fixed
the problem. What should that value be and what does it affect?

Could it also be due to the settings in /etc/sysconfig/mimedefang?

# Limit slave processes' resident-set size to this many kilobytes. 
Default
# is unlimited.
#MX_MAX_RSS=10000

# Limit total size of slave processes' memory space to this many
kilobytes.
# Default is unlimited.
#MX_MAX_AS=30000
