     Not nearly enough memory.  When you consider that each MIMEDefang
slave can take 20+ MB due to the pig known as SpamAssassin, plus the
RAM disk for /var/spool/MIMEDefang, plus the OS, plus anything else
running on the box, you should probably have 512 MB minimal.  1 GB or
more would be better.
