You should upgrade SA to at least 2.64; there are a number of issues
including a known DoS attack. Check the SA changelog from 2.64 for the
full list.

BigEvil has recently been Officially Discontinued; you should *really*
not use it for exactly this reason (it's a memory pig that WILL bring
all but the most insanely over-spec hardware to its knees). Upgrade SA
to 2.64, and install the SURBL "plugin" for 2.64 (see
http://www.surbl.org for more detail).
