As suggested by several people, I tweaked clam and amavis configuration parameters by reducing various maxima (message sizes, threads, queues, etc.). It seemed to me my traffic was so low that these did not apply, but I have been running for a day with 2GB swap (for 768MB (not 768KB) RAM) with no apparent problem... This is the more surprising to me that I added Wordpress which implies MySQL which it seems also needs swap space. Sorry I can't provide more definitive info as to what reallymade the difference.
