Here's my setup: P IV 1.7 GHz, 128MB RAM, 4.8_RELEASE, sendmail, and cyrus imapd. The IMAP users are also Unix users. There are about 300 accounts in the system. I'm runing MIMEDefang 2.35, installed from the ports. All the ports MIMEDefang depends on are up to date. I cvsuped ports-all last Friday and purtupgraded all of them. When two or three users try to send some medium to big sized mails (1M or more, there are a 4M limit), the server drops to its knees. I've tracked it to MIMEDefang eating all the available RAM, and thesystem starts to swap badly. I've seen it use up to 300M of the swap space, besides all the RAM it can take, just for less than 10 messages which sum less than 25MB. Obviously, there's something really wrong here. Does anybody know what can I do to make it use less memory? or buying RAM is the only way to go? Thanks in advance. Fer
